Figure Lengend Snippet: a – c , Workflow ( a ), representative TIRF images ( b ), and quantification results ( c ) of the number of signaling molecules per TCR following introduction of PD-1–PD-L1 inhibitory signaling in T cells. d , Stoichiometry of the TCR signalosome under PD-1–PD-L1 inhibitory signaling. e , Quantified sensitivity of signaling molecules within the TCR signalosome to PD-1–PD-L1 inhibitory signaling. f , Generation of T cells expressing low or high levels of PD-1. g , h , Representative TIRF images ( g ) and corresponding quantification results ( h ) of the number of signaling molecules per TCR in T cells expressing low or high levels of PD-1, with or without PD-1–PD-L1 inhibitory signaling. Data in f are presented as mean ± SD; data in c , d , and h are presented as mean ± SEM. In c , d , and h , ≥30 individual cells were analyzed per condition. Statistical significance was assessed using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t -test (*** P ≤ 0.001). Data in c , d , and h are representative of two replicates using T cells from two blood donors. Data in f are representative of three replicates using T cells from three blood donors.
