Figure Lengend Snippet: Activated canine CD3 T cells express OX40 (A and B) CD4 and CD8 T cells were stimulated with concanavalin A (5 μg/mL) for 72 h. Activated cPBMCs were stained with cFcOX40 L B fusion protein, and the bound proteins were detected using goat anti-canine IgG Fc DyLight-750 Ab. cPBMCs were also stained with anti-CD3, anti-CD4, and anti-CD8 mAbs. The CD3 T cells were gated to obtain CD4 and CD8 populations, and cOX40 expression was analyzed on these immune subsets by flow cytometry. Canine IgG was used as an isotype control. cOX40 is predominantly expressed on helper T cells, while its expression is restricted to a small population of cytotoxic T cells. (C) ConA induces OX40 expression on canine Tregs. Activated cPBMCs were similarly stained with anti-CD4CD3, CD8, and cFcOX40L B fusion protein. The stained cPBMCs were fixed, permeabilized, and treated with anti-FoxP3 eFluor 450 Ab. The CD4 + CD3 + T cell population was gated for FoxP3 expression and analyzed for OX40 expression. ConA stimulation induces the expression of cOX40 on cTregs. The binding of cFcOX40L B to various T-lymphocyte subsets is shown. The cFcOX40L D also binds similarly to cOX40 on T-lymphocytes (data not shown). (D) cPBMCs from three healthy dogs were isolated, stimulated with ConA, and analyzed for cOX40 expression. The cOX40 expression on CD4 + CD3 + , CD8 + CD3 + , and CD3 + CD4 + FoxP3 + T cells from three healthy dogs is shown in the bar graph. Data are represented as mean +/− standard deviation.
