Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Levels of cytokines (pg/mg tissue) produced by HD skin, huSCC, ES, and xSCC. Heatmap bars represent the mean of n = 5 HD skin and huSCC donors, and mean n = 5 of xenograft mice. ( B ) Representative gating strategy and bar graphs of the human skin–derived and ex vivo expanded Vδ1 + γδ T cells expressing IL-1RAcP and IL-18Rα. Peripheral blood αβ T cells and ex vivo expanded skin-derived αβ T cells were used as staining controls. Mean of n = 5 skin donors. ( C ) eFluor450-labeled γδ T cells were cultured under basal conditions [unstimulated or with IL-2 (100 IU/ml) and IL-15 (20 ng/ml)] or stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 μg/ml) and/or IL-1α and IL-18 (9 ng/ml) for 6 days. Proliferation was assessed by the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of eFluor450 in Vδ1 + by flow cytometry. The representative histograms show the eFluor450 dilution in Vδ1 + T cells in the different conditions. Cell counts were normalized to unit area. ( D ) Bar graphs show the fold change of efluor450 MFI of Vδ1 + treated with anti-CD3, IL-1α, and IL-18 relative to IL-2 and IL-15. Mean of n = 6 skin donors. Statistical analysis was performed using a Friedman test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. Data in bar graphs (B) and (D) are shown as mean ± SD.

Figure Lengend Snippet: TLR2 is required for MutuDC sensing of, but not internalization of MRSA (A) Relative pHrodo labeled MRSA internalization by MutuDC over 4 h following stimulation with DapS A8819 (light blue symbols) or DapR A8817 (dark blue symbols), or media alone (white squares). Prior to stimulation, MutuDC were pre-treated for 1 h with TLR2 blocking antibody (clone T2.5; triangles with dashed lines) or media alone (circles with filled lines). Relative MRSA internalization by each DC subset is expressed as the gMFI of pHrodo. Results show the mean and (SD) of duplicates from one experiment, representative of two independent experiments. (B) Cytokine secretion (pg/mL) by MutuDC stimulated with TLR2 ligand peptidoglycan of S. aureus (PGN-SA) (10 μg/mL) or (C) DapS (A8819; light blue) or DapR (A8817; dark blue) MRSA (MOI of 10) for 18 h. MutuDC were first pre-treated with either TLR2 blocking antibody (dot-filled bars) or media alone (filled bars) as in A, or an isotype control (clone 163D3, empty bars) at 1 μg/mL. Results pooled from four (B) or three (C) independent experiments and expressed as the mean ± SEM, with each symbol (circle, square, and directional triangles) representing paired experimental replicates ( n = 3). Statistical significance determined using paired t test and reported as indicated by an ∗ when p ≤ 0.05. (D) Expression of surface activation markers by MutuDC stimulated with DapS A8819 MRSA. DC were pre-treated with TLR2 blocking antibody (black trace), isotype control (dashed red trace), and media alone (light blue shaded). Unstained control sample is shown for each marker (black dashed trace). Data shown from one experiment, representative of three independent experiments.
