Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) PD-1/PD-L1 blockade by glycosylated PD-L1 antibodies. Kinetic graph showing quantitative binding of PD-1/Fc protein on BT549 cells expressing PD-L1 at hourly time points after treatment with glycosylated PD-L1 antibodies. (B) Blockade of PD-L1 and PD-1 interaction by the glycosylated PD-L1 antibodies STM004 and STM108. (C) Schematic diagram of various PD-L1 NQ mutants used in this study. The numbers indicate amino acid positions of the PD-L1 protein. (D) Western blot analysis of wild-type and mutant PD-L1 using STM004 or STM108 antibody. (E) Epitope mapping of glycosylated PD-L1–binding antibodies by High-Mass MALDI mass spectrometry (CovalX service). (F) Interaction of human PD-1 (hPD-1) or mouse PD-1 (mPD-1) protein with human PD-L1 (hPD-L1) on BT549 cells or mouse PD-L1 (mPD-L1) or hPD-L1 on 4T1 cells, with or without STM108 antibody. (G) Tumor growth of 4T1 cells expressing human PD-L1 (4T1-hPD-L1) in BALB/c mice treated with STM004 or STM108 antibody. Tumors were measured at the indicated time points and dissected at the endpoint. n = 7 mice per group. (H) Intracellular cytokine stain of IFNγ in CD8+ CD3+ T cell populations. n = 7 mice per group. (I) Immunofluorescence staining of the protein expression pattern of PD-L1, CD8, and granzyme B (GB) in a 4T1-hPD-L1 tumor mass. Scale bar, 100 μm (20 μm in magnified sections). (J) Quantitative binding affinity of gPD-L1 antibody (STM108) to glycan 1 and 2. Glycan array 100 was probed with biotin-labeled gPD-L1 antibody. gPD-L1 antibody bound to two glycans (1 and 2), and the bindings were compromised by a mixture of B3GNT3 substrate or product, mixture of DiLacNAc and GlcNAcβ1,3-Gal. (K) Western blot analysis of glycosylation of PD-L1 protein in BT549 cells by STM108 (gPD-L1). BT549 control (CTRL) or B3GNT3−/− cells were treated with 25 ng/ml EGF or gefitinib overnight. *p < 0.05, statistically significant by Student’s t-test. Error bars, mean ± S.D. of three independent experiments. See also Figure S5, Table S3, and Table S4
Article Snippet: According to histologic scoring, the intensity of staining was ranked into one of four groups: high (score 3), medium (score 2), low (score 1), and negative (score 0). . Epitope mapping by mass spectrometry Epitope mapping for the mouse monoclonal anti-gPD-L1 antibodies STM004 and STM108 was performed by CovalX AG (Switzerland).
