Dear experts,

This is not exactly a flow question but maybe someone can help me.
I am trying to generate the CD8 cell lines specific for an antigenic peptide.

I have put into culture fresh CD8+ cells from a healthy donor that I
stimulate weekly with homologous PBMC (pulsed with a peptide (10ug)
for 3 hours and irradiated) along with Il-2 and Il-7. I haven't seen
the peptide-specific cytotoxic lymphocyte (checked with HLA
tetramers) till the 6th week of culture.
I would be grateful for any suggestion what I can change or any
reliable protocol. Thanks.

Michal
