Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Expression of CSPG4 and gp100 on human melanoma cell lines was detected by flow cytometry using specific monoclonal antibodies and FITC-conjugated secondary antibody. Expression of CD146 was detected using FITC-conjugated mouse anti-human CD146. Gray lines: secondary antibody alone or isotype control; Black lines: anti- CSPG4, gp100 or CD146, as indicated. (B) 1G2 (HLA-A2+/ gp100154–162- reactive) T cell line was co-cultured with HLA-A2+ (M579-A2 and 624mel) or HLA-A2− (M171 and M579) melanoma cells. CSPG4 was detected on CD8+ lymphocytes by staining with specific monoclonal antibodies, followed by flow cytometry. (C) 2E2, 2C7 and 1H8 (all A2/MART-126–35- reactive) T cell clones were co-cultured and analyzed as described in B. (D) 1H8 T cell clone was co-cultured with melanoma cell lines as described in B. Presence of gp100 and CD146 on CD8+ cells was monitored by flow cytometry. One representative experiment of five performed is shown. (E) The four following cell lines were co-cultured: MART-126–35-reactive T cells (2D6), a non-relevant MUC-163–71-specific T cell line (line 33), melanoma cells (526mel) and MUC-163–71 peptide-pulsed T2 cells. CSPG4 and CD107A were detected on CD8+ lymphocytes by staining with specific monoclonal antibodies, followed by flow cytometry. To enable separate gating, the two lymphocyte populations 2D6 and line33 were pre-labeled with PKH67 and PKH26, respectively.
