From: Specificity of T cells in synovial fluid: high frequencies of CD8+ T cells that are specific for certain viral epitopes

Figure 2

T cells specific for the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic proteinepitopes GLCTLVAML and RAKFKQLL are enriched within synovial fluid. Pairedsamples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and synovial fluidmononuclear cells (SFMCs) were stained with (a) the A2/GLCTLVAMLtetramer or (b) the B8/RAKFKQLL tetramer together with a monoclonalantibodies specific for CD8. The percentage of CD8+ T cells thatreact with the relevant tetrameric complex is shown. L, left knee; R, rightknee.
