CD3+ T cells from 5 healthy individuals (donors 21-25) were stimulated 4 times with HNE- or PRO3-loaded DCs. CD8+ T-cell responses to PR1 peptide are shown as stimulation indices (see “Cold target inhibition assay” for details). NR indicates no response;—, not done (because of insufficient cell numbers, not all peptides were tested in all cases); and Inc, high IFN-γ mRNA copy number but inconclusive because of high background to control. CTL assay data were obtained at 10:1 E/T ratio. Representative data are from 3 independent experiments are shown.
