Mabtech Granzyme B (clone GB10, catalog 3486-2 A) ELISPOT assays against whole gene product peptides with overlap 15-mer coverage of HIV-Gag (catalog ARP-12425), HIV-Env (catalog ARP-12540), HIV-Pol (catalog ARP-12438), and HIV-Nef (catalog ARP-12545) from the NIH HIV Reagent Program and CMVpp65 peptide pool (catalog PM-PP65-2) were performed in triplicate. Multiscreen IP 96-well plates (MilliporeSigma) were coated with 7.5 μg/mL of anti–Granzyme B antibody (clone GB10, Mabtech catalog 3486-2 A) in sterile water and incubated overnight. Plates were washed, and PBMCs were added at 100,000–200,000 cells/well and stimulated with peptide pools and 0.5% DMSO and phytohemagglutinin at 2 μg/mL as negative and positive controls, respectively. Plates were incubated overnight; washed and biotinylated antibody was added (anti–Granzyme B antibody clone MT8610 from Mabtech) and incubated for 2 hours. Plates were developed with Streptavidin-ALP from Mabtech and with Color Development Buffer (Bio-Rad). Plates were washed and dried overnight and spots were counted. Responses against whole gene product peptide pools were background subtracted (thus, nonzero responses were more than 1 time background), but no other ad hoc empirical cutoff was applied — consistent with other studies examining correlations with objectively reported T cell responses as assessed by ELISPOT assay.
