Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 | Importance of ATG8 family proteins for LFA1-dependent lymphocyte adhesion. a Western blotting analysis of LC3b and GABARAP in BAF/LFA1. LC3b- KO: BAF/LFA1 with deletion of LC3b; GABARAP-KO: BAF/LFA1 with deletion of GABARAP. Two independent experiments were performed. b FACS analysis of LFA1 expression in BAF/LFA1 cells. Surface expression of LFA1 was monitored with monoclonal antibodies (Mean Fluorescence Intensity, MFI: αL [No staining, WT, LC3b-KO, GABARAP-KO] = [83.3, 22400, 22300, 26500], β2 [WT, LC3b-KO, GABARAP-KO] = [23300, 16000, 23900]). Total expression of LFA1 was monitored using the SNAP tag protein fused to β2 (MFI: SNAP [No staining, WT, LC3b-KO, GABARAP-KO] = [77.1, 33700, 30300, 39900]). c Adhesion assay. Areas of cell adhesion were monitored by interference reflection microscopy. WT: n = 45; LC3b- KO: n = 45; GABARAP-KO: n = 48. d Accumulation of LFA1 at the contact surface. Surface LFA1 was stained with a dye-conjugated non-blocking monoclonal antibody and adhered to ICAM1-coated dishes in the presence of PMA. The fluorescence intensity of LFA1 at the contact surface was measured by TIRFM. WT: n = 36; LC3b-
