doi: 10.1126/sciadv.adz4203
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) ND PBMCs were stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml) for 7 days ± rhIL-2 (50 IU/ml). Levels of CD318 were measured from total live cells. n = 4. ( B ) Expression of CD318 on CD4 (white dots) and CD8 (black dots) at days 7, 14, and 21 after stimulation and expansion in vitro. n = 7 to 10. Activated PBMCs were split at day 7 and expanded. For expansion, half of the media was replaced with fresh media containing rhIL-2 (final concentration, 50 IU/ml). ( C ) Cytokine expression in CD318 − (white dots) and CD318 + (black dots) CD8 T cells was measured at day 7 after stimulation. Flow cytometry data shown are representative of three individual donors. n = 3. ( D ) Cytokine secretion was measured from CD318 − (white dots) and CD318 + (black dots) CD8 T cells expanded for 21 days. Supernatants were collected from CD318 − and CD318 + CD8 T cells isolated from 21-day culture-expanded PBMCs and then restimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml) for 24 hours. n = 3. Cytokine levels were measured by ELISA. ( E ) IFN-γ and TNFα expression on CD318 + CD8 T cells. CD8 T cells expanded for 21 days were enriched with CD318 + CD8 T cells. CD318 + CD8 T cells were restimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml) alone, or with anti-CD28 (2 μg/ml), anti-CD318 (5 μg/ml), or both anti-CD28 and anti-CD318 together for 24 hours. Cytokine expression was determined by flow cytometry. n = 7, n indicates biological replicates. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was assessed using a two-tailed Student’s t test (A) or two-way to [(B) to (D)] or one-way ANOVA followed by multiple-comparison analysis (E). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001.
