Figure 3. Specificity of the CTL responses induced by DCs transfected with CLL-derived RNA. The specificity of CTLs induced with RNA-transduced DCs was analyzed by using autologous DCs from patient no. 1 pulsed with HLA-A2 binding peptides derived from the adipophilin, survivin, MUC1 and telomerase tumor-associated antigens as targets (A). Autologous DCs electroporated with EGFP mRNA were used as a negative control. Survivin-specific IFN-γ production was determined in an IFN-γ ELISPOT assay (B). The number of spots was determined by using an automatic ELISPOT reader (C). Values represent number of spots per 2 × 105 T cells after subtraction of spots counted in wells stimulated with unpulsed PBMNCs (dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO] control).
