Shelf lifeAt least 12 months from date of receipt.
PBMC (250,000 cells/well) were incubated for 42 hours in the absence or presence of a mixture of peptide pools: CEFTA peptide pool for human CD4 T cells (product code 3617-1), CEF extended peptide pool for human CD8 T cells (product code 3618-1), and CMV peptide pool for human CD4 and CD8 T cells (product code 3619-1) and anti-CD28 antibody. The numbers of cells secreting IFN-γ, Granzyme B and IL-2 was analyzed by FluoroSpot. Single cytokine secreting cells as well as double- and triple-secreting cells were determined. Spot center was used to identify spots from double- and triple-secreting cells, visualized in an image overlay of LED490, FITC (IFN-γ) and LED550, Cy3 (Granzyme B) and LED640, Cy5 (IL-2). Spot analysis was made with Mabtech IRIS.

IFN-γ

Analyte description

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is the only type II interferon. This proinflammatory cytokine is secreted by activated T cells and NK cells. It activates macrophages and endothelial cells and regulates immune responses by affecting APCs, T cells, and B cells. Production of IFN-γ by helper T cells and cytotoxic T cells is a hallmark of the Th1-type phenotype. Thus, high-level production of IFN-γ is typically associated with effective host defense against intracellular pathogens.

Granzyme B

Analyte description

Granzyme B is a serine protease released by the cytoplasmic granules within cytotoxic T cells and NK cells. Granzyme B will act together with perforin and other cytotoxic mediators to induce target cell death by apoptosis.

IL-2

Analyte description

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is predominantly produced by activated T cells. IL-2 promotes the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of antigen-activated T cells and NK cells. After antigen stimulation, the cytokine also promotes the differentiation of T cells into effector and memory T cells. Therefore IL-2 plays an important role in the body's response to infection. IL-2 is also key to tolerance, as it promotes the differentiation of certain immature T cells into regulatory T cells in the thymus, ultimately preventing autoimmune diseases.
