Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 9 | IL-21 rescued CD40L and anti-IgM induced cell death in human primary B cells. (A) Representative graphs of CFSE labelling cells showed no differentiation was induced by any stimulatory factors in 3 days. (B) Representative graphs showed that IL-21 could suppress cell death induced by CD40L and anti- IgM in terms of increased number of DAPI- cells. (C) Representative graphs showed that IL-21 was able to induce CD38+ B cell differentiation both in the absence and presence of CD40L.

Article Snippet: Cells were then seeded into 96-well round bottom plate at the density of 2E5 cells/100μl, and then challenged with 50 ng/ml IL-21 and 1 μg/ml CD40L (#6420-CL/CF, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) or 2 μg/ml anti-IgM.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Anti-MICA/B 7C6 mAb boosts anti-tumor cytotoxic function of peripheral NK cells from iCCA patients against the HuCCT-1 cell line. A): peripheral NK cell degranulation, evaluated as frequency of CD107a+ NK cells, in iCCA patients (n = 13) and HC (n = 16) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. Parametric paired and unpaired t tests were used to compare data. B): dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ CD107a+ NK cells in a HC and a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. C): the proportion of circulating IFNγ+ NK cells in patients (n = 10) and HC (n = 11) in the presence of 7C6 mAb compared with IgG1-Fc. To compare paired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon t test were used. To compare unpaired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test were used. D): representative dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ IFNγ+ NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc.

Article Snippet: The recombinant human IgG1 Fc (BioXcell, Lebanon, NH, USA) and the humanized anti-MICA/B 7C6-IgG1 mAb were added at a final concentration of 10 μg/ml.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Anti-MICA/B 7C6 mAb boosts anti-tumor cytotoxic function of peripheral NK cells from iCCA patients against patient-derived iCCA cell lines. A): peripheral NK cell degranulation, evaluated as CD107a+NK frequency, in iCCA patients (n = 12) and HC (n = 8) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc using patient- derived primary tumor cell lines as targets. Parametric paired and unpaired t tests were used to compare data. B): dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56 + CD107a+ NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. C): proportion of circulating IFNγ+NK cells in patients (n = 10) and in HC (n = 8) in the presence of 7C6 mAb compared with IgG1-Fc. To compare paired data, we used the parametric t test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon t test. To compare unpaired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test were used. D): representative dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ IFNγ +NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc.

The parametric paired t test was used to compare data in panel C. The non-parametric Wilcoxon t test was used to compare paired data in panel D. Target cell death was determined as frequency of CFSE+LD+ cells.
