title: [Establishment and primary study of an assay for the detection of EB virus specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes].
abstract: In our study, a non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay by using a Balb/C (H-2d) mice, P815(H-2d) cells and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) system was established, in order to detect EB virus specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs). In this study, we detected both the changes of primary CTLs and secondary stimulated CTLs. Spleen CTL activity assay showed that the levels of primary and secondary CTLs in recombinant EBV-LMP1 vaccinia virus group were more higher than that in control group, at the same time, obvious enhancement of EBV-LMP1 specific CTL activity was observed in experimental group immunized by Baculovirus system expressing EBV-LMP1 protein when compared with the normal mice group. This work proved that the LDH assay can be used to detect cytotoxic T lymphocytes.
