Figure Lengend Snippet: ICAM-1, CD137L, and PDL-1 are all expressed on activated feline ASCs; however, CD137L and PDL-1 do not mediate MSC-T cell adhesion. Expression of a ICAM-1, b CD137L, and c PDL-1 ligands on activated feline ASCs. Gray histogram indicated background fluorescence of unstained samples. d Percentage of remaining fluorescence intensity from CMFDA-labeled PBMCs after removal of non-adherent cells from static adhesion assay after the addition of CD137/CD137L and PD-1/PDL-1 blocking antibodies. Data is normalized to 100% on a standard MLR condition for comparability. Fluorescent images of static adhesion assay demonstrating adherent lymphocytes to ASCs from e , h non-activated MLR, f , i stimulated MLR with ConA, and g , j stimulated MLR with ConA and addition of CD137/CD137L and PD-1/PDL-1 blocking antibodies respectively. Scale bar = 400 μm. Representative flow analysis images in a – c from 3 independent experiments. Data gathered in d from 5 independent experiments
Article Snippet: In some experiments, blocking antibodies to ICAM 1 (anti-human CD54, clone MEM-111, Thermo Fisher Scientific), LFA-1 (anti-human clone R7.1, eBioscience), CD137 (anti-mouse clone 17B5, Bio X Cell), CD137L (anti-mouse clone TKS-1, Bio X Cell), PD-1 (anti-human PD-1, polyclonal goat IgG, R&D systems), or PDL-1 (anti-human PDL-1, polyclonal goat IgG, R&D systems) were added to determine which ligands mediated PBMC-ASC adhesion.
