Following a 48h co-culture of lymphocytes with OE33 P and OE33 R tumour cells, the viability of tumour cells was assessed using a cell counting kit (CCK-8, Sigma, USA) viability assay. 5 µl of CCK-8 solution was added to each well for 1h at 37°CC, 5% CO2. The optical density was measured using the Versa Max microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at 450 nm and 650 nm (reference wavelength). Formula: (viability OE33 cell-lymphocyte co-culture)-(viability PBMCs alone)/(viability untreated OE33 cells alone) × 100 = % live cells.
