Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Flow cytometry profiles of B16, B16-mβ6, B16-mβ8, A549 and A549-hβ6 cells. Green and red histograms show β6 and β8 specific staining, respectively, and grey histograms show background staining using an isotype control. Numbers indicate MFI values of specific or control antibodies. (B, C) Virus binding and dependency on divalent ions. Detached mouse (B) and human cells (C) were incubated with control medium (not containing virus) or medium containing the indicated viruses for 1 h on ice, followed by washing and staining with primary rabbit anti-FK-M3 antibodies and secondary fluorescently labeled antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. Incubation/washing buffers were adjusted to contain either Mg 2+ /Ca 2+ , 1 mM each, 1/0.2 mM Mn 2+ /Ca 2+ , or EDTA 2.5 mM. (D) Virus-receptor antibody competition experiment. Detached cells were first incubated on ice with control medium or the indicated viruses, followed by washing and incubation with either the anti-αvβ6 antibody (CMT-93 and B16-mβ6 cells), or the αvβ8 antibody (M000216 cells). Subsequently the cells were stained with secondary fluorescently labeled antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. (E) The indicated mouse and human cells were infected with recombinant M1-/M3-IX-G, M2-ΔE1A-G and fiber chimeric H5-ΔE3B-CG-FK-M1/-FK-M3 viruses at an MOI of 3. Cells were harvested at the indicated six time points and GFP intensity (MFI) was determined by flow cytometry. Cellular autofluorescence of uninfected cells was included as 0 h infection time point. (F) For analysis of virus progeny, CMT-93, B16, B16-mβ6 and B16-mβ8 cells were infected with M1-/M3-IX-G using an MOI of 1.5. After 14 h, the cells were thoroughly washed, trypsinized and re-seeded. Virus-containing supernatant samples were collected 48 (d2) and 72 h (d3) pi and used for titration analyses. Based on the virus input, fold increases of progeny virus were calculated. For B16 cells no measurable levels of viruses were detected, which translated to a virus progeny production of less than a factor of 0.01, based on the sensitivity level of this assay. Data in (B) to (F) represent triplicates, shown as mean ± SEM. Asterisks indicate level of significance for comparison of indicated values (*, P <0.05; **, P <0.005; ***, P <0.0005).

Article Snippet: The A20M1 and A20M3 consist of aa residues 490–509 of the M1 fiber (Uniprot P19721), and 452–471 of the M3 fiber (GenBank: ACJ14524.1) sequence, respectively. sITGs were obtained from R&D systems (Bio-techne brand, USA), including mouse and human αvβ3 (7889-AV-050/3050-AV-050), αvβ5 (7706-AV-050/2528-AV-050), αvβ6 (7480-AV-050/3817-AV-050), αvβ8 (8314-AV-050/4135-AV-050), recombinantly expressed in and secreted from CHO cells (quality control shown in ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: FN-null MEF adhesion to S1-RBD is mediated by α v β 3 integrins and RGD . FN-null MEFs (5 x 10 5 cells/mL) were pre-incubated for 30 min with 50 μg/mL integrin-blocking antibodies ( A-C ) or 25 μM peptide ( D-E ) before seeding (9.4 x 10 4 cells/cm 2 ) onto plates pre-coated with 250 nM S1-RBD ( A, D ), FNIII10 ( B,E ), or type I collagen ( C ). Relative cell number was determined by crystal violet staining. Data are mean ± SEM, normalized to corresponding vehicle (PBS) controls; n=3 independent experiments performed in triplicate. One-way ANOVA, Bonferroni’s post-hoc test: A-C *p<0.05 vs PBS, IgG; +p<0.05 vs PBS, IgM; #p<0.05 vs PBS, anti-α 5 +β 1 ; D-E *p<0.05 vs PBS; #p<0.05 vs corresponding negative control, RAD or KGD.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Recombinant human integrins α v β 3 and α v β 6 , but not α 5 β 1 , bind to immobilized S1-RBD . Representative kinetic data for α v β 3 ( A, D ), α v β 6 ( B, E ) or α 5 β 1 ( C, F ) binding to immobilized S1-RBD ( A-C ), FNIII10 ( D-E ), or FNIII8-10 ( F ). Data are presented as representative traces (bold colored lines) collected from 1 of 2 (α 5 β 1 , 100-1000 nM) or 3 (α v β 3 , 5-450 nM and α v β 6 , 5-500 nM) experiments and corresponding 1:1 binding fits (black lines).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Summary of kinetic and quality control parameters determined for the interaction of α v integrins with immobilized S1-RBD and FNIII10 . Data are presented as mean ± SEM for at least 3 independent experiments per integrin. Double-referenced experiments were performed simultaneously for S1-RBD and FNIII10 ligands in parallel flow cells.
