CD8+T cells were separated from PBMCs of HLA-A2 healthy donor by EasySep™ Human CD8+T Cell Isolation Kit (Stemcell, Canada).24 (link) CD8+T cells were co-cultured with peptide-loaded DCs (CD8+T cells to DC ratio was 10:1). rhIL-2 (20 ng/mL) was added on the 2nd day, and the culture medium was changed in half every 2–3 days. On days 7 and 12 of culture, the same proportion of peptide-loaded DCs was added for enhanced stimulation.26 (link),27 (link) Cultured to day 15, cells were collected as effector T cells (i.e., CTLs).
