Figure Lengend Snippet: α2,6 sialic acid but not Neu5Gc is required for CD22 ligand-mediated restoration of BCR ligation-induced signaling in C d 45 − /− B cells. BCR ligation-induced Ca 2+ signaling in spleen B cells from wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice ( A – C ) or C57BL/6 mice deficient in either ST6Gal1 ( A and C ), Cmah ( B and C ), CD45 ( A–C ), both CD45 and ST6Gal1 ( A and C ) or both CD45 and Cmah ( B and C ). Cells were loaded with Fluo-4, and stimulated with anti-IgM antibody. Intracellular Ca 2+ level was measured by flow cytometry. Representative data are shown ( A and B ) The arrows indicate the time point when anti-IgM was added. The basal MFI was subtracted from the peak MFI ((peak - basal) MFI) ( C ). Normalized net MFI ( C d 45 −/− / C d 45 +/+ ) was calculated by the following formula. Normalized net MFI Cd 45 − / − / Cd 45 + / + , % = peak − basal MFI in Cd 45 − / − B cells peak − basal MFI in Cd 45 + / + B cells × 100 . Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test (n = 4 for WT and S t 6 g al1 −/− , n = 3 for Cmah −/− ). ns p > 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: Mouse spleen cells were treated with anti-FcγRII/III antibody 2.4G2 for 15 min to block FcγRII/III-mediated nonspecific binding, and stained with the following antibodies: Anti-mouse CD22 (F239) ( ) and anti-mouse IgM (115-006-020, Jackson ImmunoResearch) conjugated with Alexa647 and Pacific Blue, respectively, using Alexa Fluor 647 and Pacific Blue antibody conjugation kits (Invitrogen), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD21 (7E9, BioLegend; 7G6, BD PharMingen), PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD23 (B3B4, eBioscience), biotin-conjugated anti-mouse CD23 (B3B4, BD PharMingen), R-PE-conjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen), biotin-conjugated anti-mouse CD19 (eBio13, eBioscience), Pacific Blue-conjugated streptavidin (Invitrogen), APC-conjugated anti-mouse CD45R/B220 (RA3-6B2, BD Pharmingen), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse CD45R/B220 (RA3-6B2, BD Pharmingen), Alexa647-conjugated anti-mouse IgD (11-26c, eBioscience), FITC-conjugated anti-mouse IgM (1020-02, SBA).
