    Figure 3. <t>RvCXCL1</t> Induces Migration of Naive NK Cells (A) Transwell migration assays of freshly isolated NK cells toward increasing concentrations of rvCXCL1 (indicated on the x axis). RhFck and rhIL8 were used as positive controls. Percent of migrating cells was calculated out of total input cells. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 4). (B) Freshly isolated NK cells were incubated for 1 hr with mAb against vCXCL1 or isotype-matched control. RvCXCL1 was placed in the bottom chamber, and migration was performed for 3 hr at 37C. The numbers of migrated cells was determined by FACS following 3 hr of incubation at 37C. The basal migration rate of NK cells toward medium that did not contain rvCXCL1 was set as 1 and the results presented as fold increase (FI). *p < 0.05. **p < 0.005.

    Figure 7. Reduced Neutrophil and NK Cell Migration in the Absence of UL146 during HCMV Infection (A) Freshly isolated neutrophils were incubated with increasing concentrations (indicated in the x axis) of rvCXCL1 (gray circles) for 30 min at 37C, followed by staining with anti-CXCR2. MFI of CXCR2 expression without blocking was set on 100%, and the residual CXCR2 expression was calculated. Estimated levels of vCXCL1 following infection of HFF cells with WT HCMV are shown as blue square on the graph. (B) HFFs were infected (MOI of 0.5) with WT HCMV (blue circles) or DUL146 (red circles), and supernatants containing progeny viruses were harvested at the indicated hours postinfection (x axis). The plaque-forming units (PFU) were determined using a standard plaque assay on HFF monolayers. (C and D) HFF cells were infected with WT HCMV or with HCMV DUL146 at a MOI of 1. Three days postinfection, cell supernatants were collected and used for transwell migration assays with either neutrophils (C) or NK cells (D). Neutrophils and NK cell migration toward supernatants from mock-infected HFF was set as 1, and the results are presented as FI. (E and F) Freshly isolated neutrophils were incubated at 37C for 30 min with or without the proteins indicated on the x axis. Transwell migration assays were performed with neutrophils (E) or NK cells (F) toward supernatant from mock-infected or WT-HCMV-infected HFFs. Neutrophils and NK cell migration toward supernatants from mock-infected cells was set as 1, and the results are presented as FI. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.005. ***p < 0.0005. (G) HCMV-infected endothelial cells secrete vCXCL1 (1) and recruit both neutrophils and NK cells to the infection site (2). Migration of NK cells is dependent on CXCR1 and CX3CR1 receptors, whereas neutrophil migration is dependent on CXCR2 and CXCR1. Neutrophils migrate faster and more efficiently in comparison to NK cells due to their CXCR2 receptor (3). Therefore, neutrophils reach the infection site early and can disseminate the virus while proceeding to travel throughout the body (4). This enables the virus to maintain a pool of HCMV-infected cells. NK cells that migrate toward vCXCL1 will get to the infection site at a later time point (5) and will be subverted by HCMV-immune evasion tactics.

    Figure 6. Neutrophils Migrate Faster and More Efficiently Than NK Cells in Response to rvCXCL1 (A) A transwell migration assay was performed using rvCXCL1, rhIL8, or rhFck as the chemoattractant with either freshly isolated neutrophils (gray triangles) or NK cells (black squares) placed in the upper chamber for 10, 20, and 30 min at 37C. Migration of untreated neutrophils and NK cells at the beginning of the experiment was set as 1, and the results are presented as FI. Figure shows one representative experiment out of two performed. (B) Diagram that describes competitive transwell migration assay in which NK cells and neutrophils were incubated together at the upper chamber and their ability to migrate toward rvCXCL1 (lower chamber) is determined. (C) Competitive transwell migration assays described in (B) was performed for 30 min (left panel) and 3 hr (right panel). Percent of migrating cells out of total input cells was calculated separately for neutrophils (gray) and NK cells (black). Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 3). *p < 0.05. **p < 0.005. ***p < 0.0005.

    Figure 7. Reduced Neutrophil and NK Cell Migration in the Absence of UL146 during HCMV Infection (A) Freshly isolated neutrophils were incubated with increasing concentrations (indicated in the x axis) of rvCXCL1 (gray circles) for 30 min at 37C, followed by staining with anti-CXCR2. MFI of CXCR2 expression without blocking was set on 100%, and the residual CXCR2 expression was calculated. Estimated levels of vCXCL1 following infection of HFF cells with WT HCMV are shown as blue square on the graph. (B) HFFs were infected (MOI of 0.5) with WT HCMV (blue circles) or DUL146 (red circles), and supernatants containing progeny viruses were harvested at the indicated hours postinfection (x axis). The plaque-forming units (PFU) were determined using a standard plaque assay on HFF monolayers. (C and D) HFF cells were infected with WT HCMV or with HCMV DUL146 at a MOI of 1. Three days postinfection, cell supernatants were collected and used for transwell migration assays with either neutrophils (C) or NK cells (D). Neutrophils and NK cell migration toward supernatants from mock-infected HFF was set as 1, and the results are presented as FI. (E and F) Freshly isolated neutrophils were incubated at 37C for 30 min with or without the proteins indicated on the x axis. Transwell migration assays were performed with neutrophils (E) or NK cells (F) toward supernatant from mock-infected or WT-HCMV-infected HFFs. Neutrophils and NK cell migration toward supernatants from mock-infected cells was set as 1, and the results are presented as FI. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.005. ***p < 0.0005. (G) HCMV-infected endothelial cells secrete vCXCL1 (1) and recruit both neutrophils and NK cells to the infection site (2). Migration of NK cells is dependent on CXCR1 and CX3CR1 receptors, whereas neutrophil migration is dependent on CXCR2 and CXCR1. Neutrophils migrate faster and more efficiently in comparison to NK cells due to their CXCR2 receptor (3). Therefore, neutrophils reach the infection site early and can disseminate the virus while proceeding to travel throughout the body (4). This enables the virus to maintain a pool of HCMV-infected cells. NK cells that migrate toward vCXCL1 will get to the infection site at a later time point (5) and will be subverted by HCMV-immune evasion tactics.
