Dear Michael,
I'm not sure from your letter whether or not you already have your CD4 T 
cell clones or whether you need info on how to generate them. Either 
way, the subject is rather like gardening  and everybody has their own 
methods.  You will need to get hold of some Human AB serum (from a local 
Blood Bank) to start with. You will also need very clean Mycoplasma free 
culture equipment (pref. only used for T cell culture). We generally 
stimulate T cells weekly but this depends on the specificity of the 
cells you wish to grow. Please contact me with more specific details of 
what you intend to do and I'm sure I can help.
Cheers Russ
