A method of producing T cells comprising
- obtaining T cells from at least one individual,
- activating the T cells,
- expanding a first portion of the activated T cells over a period of time,
- culturing the expanded T cells in the presence of at least one cytokine,
- measuring a cytokine response in the cultured T cells,
- identifying the period of time that yields a maximum cytokine response, and
- expanding a second portion of the activated T cells for the period of time that yields a maximum cytokine response.
