PBMCs from patient KI-705 were stained with both PE-conjugated YF9-tetramer and APC-conjugated FF9-tetramer and then stained with FITC-anti-CD3 (Dako), Pacific Blue-anti-CD8 (BD Pharmingen, USA), and 7-AAD. Among CD3+CD8+7-AAD cells, WT-specific, cross-reactive, or MT-specific cells were sorted into a 96-well plate by using a FACS Aria I instrument. Unbiased identification of TCR gene usage was assessed as described previously (51 (link)).
