Agenda Items

 * Buffy coat comparisons --
 * adenine may be used by MGH blood bank
 * other differences include bag type
 * Replication of CPE effect in co-culture:
 * concerned as above re: anti-coagulant or other difference between donor sources, however, 3 of 7 do show effect (1 in particular very nice), difference perhaps primarily greater retinoid response (suggesting background RALDH) in medium condition.
 * FoxP3 experiment -- 4-16 (DC, anti-CD3, RA, TGF, IL-2 x5d -- depleted a-CD3 and rest with RA, IL-2 reanalyze on day 9
 * 9d resting protocol looks better (e.g. less TCR signal dependent effect of RA on FP3 induction (~2 fold)
 * would consider revisiting this with RAL/ CPE condition once we have reassured ourselves that we have addressed potential effect above on DC response to CPE

To Do

 * order butterfly needles, heparin, syringes??
