Figure 3From: Specificity of T cells in synovial fluid: high frequencies of CD8+ T cells that are specific for certain viral epitopesFrequency of IFN-γ secreting antigen-specific T cellsdetected using an ELISpot assay. ELISpot assays to detect IFN-γ secretedby T cells following short-term incubation with (a) the GLCTLVAMLpeptide or (b) the RAKFKQLL peptide were performed on paired samples ofperipheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and synovial fluid mononuclear cells(SFMCs). The number of spots detected per 106 mononuclear cells isshown.Back to article page
