Figure Lengend Snippet: The B6 vitamers pyridoxal and PLP activate Jurkat cells expressing the A-F7 MAIT TCR and the MC.7.G5 TCR, as well as primary CD8 + T cells expressing the A-F7 MAIT TCR (A) Jurkat cells with no TCR or transduced with A-F7 MAIT TCR were co-incubated overnight with A549 WT and A549 MR1 KO cell lines treated with pyridoxal at 100, 10, and 1 μg/mL or loaded with M. smegmatis (MOI: 1:300). Cells were stained for CD69 expression with mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) displayed. Background MFI of Jurkat cells with A549 WT or MR1 KO alone with no pyridoxal or M. smegmatis was subtracted. Jurkat cells with A-F7 were gated on co-marker rCD2 + . Data display duplicate conditions ( E). (B) Jurkat cells with no TCR or transduced with A-F7 MAIT TCR were co-incubated overnight with A549 WT and the following compounds: 5-A-RU (converts to MAIT ligand 5-OP-RU in cells and was added in the absence of exogenously applied methylglyoxal, which increases potency), pyridoxal and PLP at 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 1 × 10 −2 , 1 × 10 −3 , and 1 × 10 −4 μg/mL. Cells were stained for CD69 expression with MFI displayed. Background MFI of Jurkat cells with A549 cells alone with no pyridoxal was subtracted. Jurkat cells expressing the A-F7 TCR were gated on the rCD2 co-marker. Assay was performed in triplicate ( F), and curves were fitted using a four-parameter logistic model. Points indicate mean values, with error bars depicting standard deviation. EC 50 values with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and R 2 are indicated, with the results reproducible over two assays ( G). (C) Primary CD8 + T cells from three healthy donors with no TCR transduction or expression of the A-F7 TCR to generate TCR-T cells, were co-incubated for 4 h with A549 WT cells ± pre-treatment with 100 μg/mL of pyridoxal, and then reactivity measured via T107 assay. T cells were also incubated alone or with CD3/CD28 Dynabeads, with the latter acting as a positive control. Cells were gated on lymphocytes, viable CD3 + , single cells, rCD2 + /CD8 + (or CD8 + for the untransduced), and then TNF + versus CD107a + for reactivity. For the pyridoxal conditions, background reactivity toward A549 cell lines with no pyridoxal has been subtracted. For reactivity toward CD3/CD28 Dynabeads, the reactivity for the T cell-alone condition has been subtracted ( H). (D) Jurkat cells with no TCR or transduced with MC.7.G5 TCR were co-incubated overnight with C1R cells ± pyridoxal at 100, 10, 1, 0.1, and 1 × 10 −2 μg/mL. Cells were stained for CD69 expression with MFI displayed. Background MFI of Jurkat cells alone with no pyridoxal was subtracted. Jurkat cells with MC.7.G5 TCR were gated on co-marker rCD2 + . Assay was performed in triplicate ( I), and curves were fitted using a four-parameter logistic model. Points indicate mean values, with error bars depicting standard deviation. EC 50 values with a 95% CI and R 2 are indicated ( J). See also and .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Characterization of the anti-NKp46 mAb 09. (A) FACS staining of anti-NKp46 mAbs (9E2 and 09) binding to BW parental cells versus BW transfected cells expressing NKp46 (black and red histograms, respectively). Binding was detected using an anti-mouse IgG AF647 labeled antibody. The filled gray histogram represents staining with secondary antibodies only of the BW parental cells. The background (BG) of BW NKp46 transfectants was similar and is not shown in the figure. The figure shows one representative experiment out of the six performed. (B) FACS staining of anti-NKp46 mAbs (9E2 and 09) on primary activated bulk human NK cells (black histogram). The filled gray histogram represents the staining of NK cells with secondary antibodies only. The figure shows one representative experiment out of the six performed. (C) Human NKp46-Ig was pre-incubated either alone (black histogram) or with anti-NKp46 mAbs (9E2 and 09, red histograms) at 4 ◦C, followed by FACS staining of BJAB, MCF7, and C1R cells detected with an anti-human IgG PE-labeled antibody. The filled gray histogram represents the staining of cells with secondary antibodies only. The figure shows one representative experiment out of the two performed. (D) Activated bulk NK cell cultures were incubated with the indicated anti-NKp46 mAbs (9E2 and 09) at 4 ◦C (black histogram) or 37 ◦C (red histogram) for 8 h, followed by FACS staining with an AF647-labeled anti-mouse secondary antibody. The filled gray histogram represents staining with secondary antibodies only of cells treated at 4 ◦C. The background of cells treated at 37 ◦C was similar and is not shown in the figure. The figure shows one representative experiment out of the five performed.
