CD11c+ dendritic cells (DCs) and CD3+ T cells were purified with CD11c MicroBeads UltraPure, mouse, and the Pan T Cell Isolation Kit II, mouse (Miltenyi Biotec) from the splenocytes of HLA-A*0201 KI mice. The antigen-presenting cells were incubated with peptides for 3 h (37 °C, 5% CO2) and washed three times. Epoxomicin was added 30 min before the addition of TAS0314. Cultured SART3302–310-specific CTLs from immunized HLA-A*0201 KI mice with SART3302–310 (100 μg/mice) were used as effector cells. The CTLs were co-cultivated with antigen-presenting cells on an anti-mouse IFN-γ-coated plate. Epitope-specific IFN-γ production was detected using an ELISPOT assay.
