Spleens collected from naive 8‐week‐old KaLwRij mice were homogenised through a 70‐μm filter and subjected to hypotonic red blood cell (RBC) lysis. Splenocytes were treated with hMPO (2 μg/mL) in 20% FCS IMDM for 20 min then cultured at 2 × 10
5 cells/well in
multiscreen‐IP HTS plates (Millipore) coated with
mouse monoclonal anti‐IFN‐γ (Cat# R4‐6A2, MabTech, Sweden) with 1 × 10
5 5TGM1 cells for 36 h. Detection of IFN‐γ was achieved through the use of
mouse monoclonal anti‐IFN‐γ (Cat#AN‐18, MabTech), streptavidin‐alkaline phosphatase and SigmaFast™ (Sigma Aldrich). Spot quantification was completed using an
ELISpot reader (MabTech).
Expanded human Vγ9Vδ2 T‐cells were provided by Prof Andreas Evdokiou (Basil Hetzel Institute, The University of Adelaide).
30 (

4 cells/well in
multiscreen‐IP HTS plates coated with human monoclonal anti‐IFN‐γ (Cat#1‐D1K, MabTech) with either RPMI‐8226 cells or MDA‐MB‐231‐TXSA cells at 1 × 10
3 cells/well for 16 h. Detection of IFN‐γ was achieved through the use of human monoclonal anti‐IFN‐γ (Cat#7‐B6‐1, MabTech) and developed as outlined above.
