As previously described [24 (link)], the mice were injected i.v. with a mixture of splenocytes labeled with CFSE (20 nM) and loaded with 100 nM SIINFEKL peptide. The spleen cells were labeled using a 10 mM CellTrackerTM Orange CMTMR (Life technologies), and they were not loaded with peptide. A total of 10 × 106 cells per mouse were injected, with a mixture containing each target cell population. Splenocytes were collected 6 hours after injection of target cells. The percentage of killing was calculated using the formula described in [35 (link)].
