PBMCs were collected after 72 hours in culture with and without stimulation with Keratin 8 peptide. Positive control was stimulation with 0.5x T cell stimulation cocktail. Cells were collected and stained for flow cytometry. Cell singlets were selected and non-viable cells were excluded, followed by size-gating of viable cells. Cells were plotted on CD62L and CCR7 based on CD3+CD4+ cells or CD3+CD8+ cells. CD62L(-)CCR7(-) Effector cells were selected as T Effector Memory (TEM) or T Effector Memory RA+ (TEMRA) based on CD45RO/CD45RA stain.
