In this approach, pre-stained cells from extrasanguinous fluids (ESFs) are stimulated in the
presence of blood from the same individual. Thus, blood-derived antigen-presenting cells
enable stimulation of both ESF-and blood T cells. Pre-staining allows distinction of T cells
from ESF and blood, and simultaneous analysis of antigen-specific T cells in both
compartments.
