Hi!
I want to induce an in vitro exhaustion model for human T cells, purified by magnetic columns. I found a protocol in which the authors cultivate the cells with Dyna beads (I have other CD3/CD28 agonists). They stimulate the cells for 3 hours and then remove the beads, the complete culture lasts 8 days, restimulating every 2 days. However, they do not mention if IL-2 is added, would it be necessary?
Thanks!
