Figure Lengend Snippet: A . PBMC from healthy donors were stained with antibodies against indicated surface markers and analyzed with FACS. The levels of SIRPG, CD28, and CCR7 of indicated populations are shown in overlay histograms in A . B-K . PBMC from two healthy donors ( B-F ) and synovial fluid cells from two patients with inflammatory arthritis ( G-K ) were stained for surface SIRPG and CD45RA and intracellular GzmK and GzmB. The stained cells were first separated into four populations based on the expression of GzmK and GzmB ( B & G ). The levels of SIRPG in the four GzmK/GzmB populations are shown in overlay histograms ( C & H ). The stained PBMC and synovial fluid cells were also separated into four populations based on the expression of SIRPG and CD45RA ( D & I ). The percentages of the SIRPG/CD45RA populations are shown in the cumulated bar graphs ( D & I ). The expression of GzmK and GzmB in each SIRPG/CD45RA population is then shown in the dot plots in E & J . The percentage of cells positive or negative for GzmB or GzmK from the SIRPG/CD45RA populations is shown in the cumulative bar graph of F and K .
Article Snippet: PBMCs were plated in 24-well plates (2-2.5 millions/1ml/well) pre-coated with anti-CD3 (2,5ug/ml, OKT3, Supplemental Table 3) and soluble anti-CD28 (2,0ug/ml, CD28.2, Supplemental Table 3) and stimulated with adalimumab (125ug/ml), etanercept (50ug/ml), certolizumab pegol (50ug/ml), tocilizumab (100ug/ml), or an isotype control anti-human IgG1 (125ug/ml, #BE0297, BioXCell, Lebanon, NH, USA) for indicated times before analyzing by flow cytometry.
