Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Representative dot plot showing PCC of TCRαβ and CD61 colocalization (left) and TCRαβ and CD103 colocalization (right) at 5, 10 and 15 min after synaptic formation. P value (TCRαβ-CD61, 5 versus 15 min): 0.0009, P value (TCRαβ-CD103, 5 versus 10 min): 0.0075, P value (TCRαβ-CD103, 5 versus 15 min): 0.000782. Each dot represents the average PCC per synapse. n = 150 cells examined over three independent experiments; each dot represents the average PCC per synapse. Time of 5 min: 91 synapses; time of 10 min: 101 synapses; time of 15 min: 71 synapses. b , c , Average MFI of either Zap70 (pY292) or PLCγ1 (pY783) on ( b ) WT CD61 + T cell clone (from patient 1) following treatment with either 25, 50 or 100 nM CD61 siRNA, or no treatment ( b ), as well as on WT CD61 + , CD61 KO or WT CD61 + T cell clones (from patient 1), by flow cytometry ( c ). d , Bar graph showing the average MFI of Zap70 (pY292) on CD61 + T cell lines, following treatment with αCD61 (neutralizing treatment), IgG isotype control treatment or no treatment, by flow cytometry. P values: (patient 1: 0.00076, patient 2: 0.0083, patient 3: 0.0096, patient 4: 0.00031, patient 5: 0.0087, patient 6: 0.037, patient 7: 0.036). e , Average MFI of Lck on WT CD61 + , CD61 KO or WT CD61 + T cell clones (from patient 1), including on WT CD61 + T cell clone treated with 25 nM, 50 nM or 100 nM CD61 siRNA, or no treatment, by flow cytometry. f , Bar graph showing the average MFI of Lck on CD61 + T cell lines, following treatment with αCD61 neutralizing treatment, IgG isotype control treatment or no treatment, by flow cytometry. P values: (patient 1: 0.047, patient 2: 0.0059, patient 3: 0.011, patient 4: 0.049, patient 5: 0.048, patient 6: 0.0053, patient 7: 0.038). g , Representative histogram of phosphorylated Zap70 (pY292) on WT CD61 + T cell clone (from patient 1) following activation with or without Lck inhibition when using A770041 (right), or with genistein as positive control of tyrosine kinases inhibition (left), h , Schematic of CD61 modulation of Zap70 phosphorylation via Lck activity under no inhibition (left), after CD61 knock-down (middle) and Lck inhibition (right).
