Splenocytes (106/mL) from OT1 mice were stimulated in RPMI + 10% FCS with 1mM OVA peptide for 3 days, washed and cultured with IL2 as above for 3 more days. Targets EL-4 cells loaded with Cell Trace Violet (C34557) at 2uM in PBS for 10 minutes then quenched and washed. Cells were pulsed with 1uM SIINFEKL peptide for 30-60 minutes at 37 degrees. Target cells were incubated with activated OT-1 cells, at varying ratios (1:5, 1:10, 1:20 in 200 mL media for 4 hours. Stained w/APC-anti-CD8 and live/dead for 30 minutes on ice. Acquired on Beckman CytoFLEX cytometer.
