A, B During generation of OVA257-264 peptide-specific CTLs, naïve OT-I splenocytes were stimulated with 10 nM OVA257-264 with or without CsA (10 nM) for 3 days, then washed, and further cultured in the RPMI growth medium until day 6. The CsA-treated or untreated OVA257-264 peptide-specific CTLs were incubated with OVA257-264-pulsed EL-4 cells for 4 h to assess the in vitro cytotoxicity (A, mean of triplicates ± SD) or i.v. injected into WT mice to measure in vivo cytotoxicity (B, mean ± SD, n = 4 mice).
