A CTL assay requiring only 150 microliter of mouse blood.

Abstract:

:In this paper, we present a method for measuring antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) activity from individual mouse peripheral blood samples without animal sacrifice. Peripheral blood cells are stimulated in vitro with a cocktail of antigen, cytokines, costimulatory molecules and irradiated feeder cells resulting, 7 days later, in a readily detectable antigen specific signal from a well plated under limiting dilution conditions. This highly sensitive and antigen specific assay is more efficient than conventional CTL assays and thus increases the number of mice that can be tested in a single assay. Since blood samples can be assayed from an individual mouse at multiple times during the course of an in vivo study, the assay can facilitate and strengthen correlative studies on CTL responses and in vivo results.
