Figure Lengend Snippet: M2 differentially blocks recognition of B7.1 and B7.2 by antibodies and the CD28 and CTLA4 receptors. (A, Left) MEFs transduced to express mouse B7.1 or B7.2 (MEF-mB7.1 or MEF-mB7.2) were preincubated with M2 at the indicated concentration before staining with 1 μg/mL anti-mouse B7.1 (16-10A1) or B7.2 (GL1) blocking antibody. (A, Right) Quantification of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of specific antibody staining in the presence of M2 relative to no M2 from 2 independent experiments is shown in the bar chart (mean ± SEM). ns, not significant. (B) Cells used in A were incubated with recombinant M2 or C8 (control PIE) and mouse CD28-Fc or CTLA4-Fc at the indicated concentration for 30 min before CD28-Fc/CTLA4-Fc binding was visualized by fluorescence-labeled anti-human IgG. (Upper) Representative flow cytometric plots of 3 independent analyses are shown. (Lower) Bar chart is the quantification of 3 analyses (mean ± SEM) showing MFI of CD28/CTLA4 in the presence of M2 relative to no M2. (C) Same experiment as in B was conducted with MEF-hB7.1 or MEF-hB7.2 and soluble human CD28-Fc or CTLA4-Fc. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0001.
