In my ELISPOT of tumor antigen-specific T cells we can see a very nice reduction in IFN-y (about half) in the presence of anti-Class I , suggesting a CD8-mediated response to peptide(s) in these pools.

We see no reduction in IFN-y in the presence of anti-Class II, confirming the CD8-mediated response.

However all the IFN-y is obliterated to baseline in the presence of both Class-I & Class-II ABs.

If IFN-y only drops by about half in the presence of anti-Class I, that suggests that some of the gamma is coming from the CD4s. So if that’s the case, why is there no reduction in the presence of anti-Class II?

I would love to hear any thoughts on this

Many thanks

Melanie
