Article Title: CERI, CEFX, and CPI: Largely Improved Positive Controls for Testing Antigen-Specific T Cell Function in PBMC Compared to CEF

Figure Lengend Snippet: Identifying the CD4/CD8 lineage of T cells responding to antigens CEF, CERI, CEFX, and CPI. The SFU counts in the unseparated PBMC was set as 100%, to which the SFU counts in the CD4 cell-depleted PBMC (PBMC-CD4 that still contain the CD8+ T cells) and the CD8 cell-depleted PBMC (PBMC-CD8 that sill contain the CD4+ T cells) are compared. PBMC, PBMC-CD4, and PBMC-CD8 were all adjusted to 300,000 cells/well. The PBMC tested were from Donor ID 162 and the 100% SFU counts for the CEF, CERI, CEFX, and CPI-responses in the unseparated PBMC were 195, 266, 400, 486, SFU, respectively. For each experimental condition, means and standard deviations calculated from triplicate wells are shown, and an independent samples student’s T -test was done to detect significant differences between the specified conditions.
