Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Expressions of B7-1, anti-CD3ε-scFv-TM, and ZZ-TM in the GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells. (A) To confirm IFNγ-dependent expression of B7-1 in GRkSB-043 and GRkSBZ-188 cells, the GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells (1 × 105, each) on a 24-well plate were treated with 1ng/mL IFNγ for 24 h. The cell lysate (5 μg protein of each) was dotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The B7-1 proteins were visualized with an anti-B7-1 antibody, HRP- conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody, and ECL reagent. (B). GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells (1 × 105 each) on a 24-well plate were treated with 1ng/ mL IFNγ for 24 h. The 1 μg of total RNA was subjected to reverse transcription and used in PCR using the specific primers (for anti-CD3ε-scFv-TM). The products were electrophoresed in a 1% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. The arrow indicates the expected PCR product (0.35 kb). (C) and (D) show specific bindings of NlucP-IGHG1 and anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 to the surface ZZ-TM on GRkSBZ-188 cells. In C, plasmids designed to secrete NlucP or NlucP-fused IGHG1 proteins were transfected to HEK293T cells, the supernatants were collected, and one aliquot was subjected to binding assay. The same counts (25,000) of NlucP or NlucP-IGHG1 were incubated with GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells for 12 h. After removing the supernatant, the Nluc activities bound to cells were measured and shown as Bound/Input. Compared to NlucP, NlucP-IGHG1 was bound specifically to GRkSBZ-188 cells. In D, plasmids designed to secrete HER2-EX-NlucP or anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 proteins were transfected to HEK293T cells (1 × 105 each), the supernatants were collected, and one aliquot was subjected to binding assay. The same counts (15,000) of HER2-EX-NlucP with or without anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 were incubated with GRkS-974, GRkSB-043, and GRkSBZ-188 cells for 12 h. After removing the supernatant, the Nluc activities bound to cells were measured and shown as Bound/Input. Compared to HER2-EX-NlucP only, HER2-EX-NlucP with anti-HER2-affibody-IGHG1 specifically bound to GRkSBZ-188 cells. Asterisks indicate a significant difference from the control (C, NlucP or D, HER2-EX-NlucP only) (*P < 0.0001, **P < 0.000001).
