Because I want to create a helper T cell response that will help create a cytotoxic response, I am going first to load the MHC molecule myself artificially. To fit the MHC molecule that I want and create the first response that I want, what peptide size should I use and what cytokine(s) do I hope will be secreted?

Helper T cells recognize peptides presented by MHC class II molecules, which typically bind peptides of 13-18 amino acids. IL-12 is a cytokine that promotes a TH1 response, which is associated with activating cytotoxic T cells.
