Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of ERAP1 enhanced NK cell killing of 221-B*51:01 cells by affecting the engagement of KIR3DL1. (A) , Example of degranulation by human CD56 + NK cells from one healthy donor co-expressing KIR2DL1, KIR2DL3, and KIR3DL1; CD107a cell surface expression was measured in specific KIR single positive (KIRsp) subsets (KIR3DL1sp for 221-B51 cells, KIR2DL1sp for 221-Cw4 cells and KIR2DL3 for 221-Cw3 and -Cw7 cells) in response to ERAP1-inhibited 221 transfectants and control cells. The percentage of CD107a + cells within the indicated NK cell subsets is shown. (B) , Summary of NK cell degranulation in the indicated KIRsp NK subsets from healthy donors after stimulation with 221 parental and transfectant cells in response to ERAP1 inhibition. P values, calculated by two-tailed paired Student’s t -test. ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: Human NK cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy donors co-expressing KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2 and KIR3DL1 by using the RosetteSep NK cell enrichment mixture method (Stem-Cell Technologies).
