Patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 1 (XLP1) have mutations in the SLAM-family adapter protein, SAP. These patients suffer from an inability to control infections of the herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that infects B cells. Studies have been done using peripheral blood T cells from these patients to examine their response to EBV in comparison to the responses of normal individuals (EBV-infected) as controls. These data were obtained by ELISPOT analysis, to quantify the numbers of IFN- -producing CD8 T cells per million peripheral blood leukocytes in response to several EBV peptides, indicated as peptide 1, 2, 3, or 4 (note: the patients and controls were matched for HLA class I molecules) .
