Figure Lengend Snippet: Competitive inhibition of PD-1/PD-L1 complex formation by the peptides obtained in this study. Modified Jurkat cells (JE6–1-NF-κB::eGFP PD-1) were incubated with the PD-L1-derived peptides, with the final concentration used in the experiment ranging from 50.00 to 5.56 µM. Subsequently, the cells were probed with PD-L1-Fc followed by PE-labelled anti-human IgG antibody and analysed by flow cytometry. The bar diagram shows the fold induction of geometric mean fluorescent intensity (gMFI) for at least three experiments performed independently in triplicate. Data were normalized to the gMFI obtained for the reporter PD-1 cell line treated with PD-L1-Fc in the absence of peptides. Data are depicted as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnet's post-hoc test. ****: p < 0.0001, ***: p < 0.001, **: p < 0.01, *: p < 0.05.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, 2-fold serial dilutions of PD-1-Fc (Sino Biological Company, China, #10084-H08H-B) in PBS-T, at concentrations from 8.00 to 0.5 µg/ml, were added to the precoated wells.
