(C) Dot plots depicting mean expression (visualized by colour) and fraction of cells (visualized by the size of the dot) expressing common-gamma chain interleukin receptor genes. (d-f) RA14 CD8 + T cells were exposed to Ag-specific SLBs in the presence of 50 U/ml of IL2 to form ISs and fixed after 10 min. Samples were then permeabilized and immunostained against the IL2 receptor subunits. Panels show representative TIRF images of the different distribution phenotypes (Homogeneous, Central and Annular) observed for the IL2RA (d), IL2RB (e) and IL2RG (f) for each state of CD8 + T cells (Blast, Memory and Naïve). Frequency for each phenotype is represented as parts of a whole for each T cell state. Data is the mean of three independent donors with >50 cells/donor. (G) Representative TIRF images of blast (top), memory (middle) and naïve (bottom) RA14 CD8 + T cells forming ISs with Ag- specific SLBs in the presence of 50 U/ml of IL2 and fixed after 10 min.

(B) Nano-FCM analysis showing the scatter plot for IL2RA (y-axis) and IL2RB (x-axis) positive EVs from resting and activated pooled CD8 + T cell. Marked in red are the double positives (IL2RA and IL2RB), blue exclusively represents the IL2RA positive EVs (negative for IL2RB), green exclusively represents IL2RB positive EVs (negative for IL2RA), and the double negatives are marked in yellow. Similarly, (C) shows the scatter plot for IL2RG (y-axis) and IL2RB (x-axis) positive EVs from resting and activated CD8 + T cell. Marked in red are the double positives (IL2RG and IL2RB), blue exclusively represents the IL2RG positive EVs (negative for IL2RB), green exclusively represents IL2RB positive EVs (negative for IL2RA), and the double negatives are marked in yellow. (D) Naïve CD8 + T cells were exposed to EVs purified from activated CD8 + T cells. After 48 hours with or without EVs incubation, Naïve CD8 + T cells were treated or not with 50 U/ml of IL2 and analysed by phospho-flow cytometry to quantify total pSTAT5 levels. Right plot shows the median intensity for pSTAT5.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Cartoon representing the different structural variants of IST used in this work. Two HLA-A*02 complexes with the cognate Ag (CMV pp65) or a non-specific control Ag (MART-1) are connected, or not, to four units of engineered IL2 (Cue IL2), with abrogated binding to IL2RA and reduced binding to IL2RB.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Blast CD8 + T cells were electroporated to express the RA14 TCR and reintroduced to the PBMC sample from the same donor. After 2h incubation in a small volume at 37 °C with or without the CMV IL2 IST (1 µM), the cell mix was fixed and blocked (TrueStain, Biolegend) before adding the antibody mix for ImageStream analysis. (A) Gating strategy. Images in focus were used to identify the cell doublets (yellow population, left dot plot). (B) Doublets were further gated to identify possible CD8 + T-T cell conjugates (Dot plots, high values for CD3 and CD8 markers, cyan population). Histograms show the intensity for CMV IL2 IST for the cyan population (possible CD8 + T-T cell conjugates). (C) Examples of CD8 + T-T cell conjugates identified. Note the accumulation of IST at the contact between the two T cells. (D) Examples of CD8 + T cell multifocal clusters. Note the accumulation of IST at the contact between any two T cells. (E) Doublets were further gated to identify possible CD8 + T cell conjugates with CD14 + monocytes (Dot plots, doublets positive for CD8 + and CD14 + markers, magenta population). Histograms show the intensity for CMV IL2 IST for the magenta population (possible CD8 + T cell – CD14 + monocytes conjugates). (F) Examples of CD8 + T cell – CD14 + monocytes conjugates identified. Note the engulfment of ISTs by the CD14 + cell together with CD3. Data is representative from two independent donors. The rest of the channels imaged are shown in Fig. S8.
