aThe CTL lines were tested in 20 h ELISPOT assays in response to no target cells or to the HLA-A2+ HNC lines (PCI-13, PCI-1, PCI-30, OSC-19) or gastric carcinoma (HR) target cell lines listed. The ratio of CTL:target cells was 10:1 (i.e. 100,000 CTL: 10,000 target cells) in all assays. The data are reciprocal frequencies (1/X) of IFN-gamma producing cells. To confirm that IFN-gamma production resulted from MHC class I-restricted interaction, W6/32 Abs were added to duplicate assays, and the reciprocal frequency of IFN-gamma producing cells in the presence of this Ab is shown in parentheses.
bNT, not tested.
