Figure: Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) express LAG-3 (detected using LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806)). Method: Freshly dissociated single cell suspensions of renal cell carcinoma TILs are incubated with LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806) (5µg/ml) and anti-MHC Class II molecules (PE) for 30 min. and washed twice in saline buffer. Additional staining with anti-CD3 allowed a gate analysis of total T cells. The LAG-3 and MHC II profiles of CD3+-gated cells for 3 patients are shown [5].
Figure: Specific inhibition of 17B4 staining.Method: LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806F) (10µg/ml) (is preincubated with a specific peptide epitope (208b) or a control tetanus toxoid (TT) peptide at different molarities prior to staining of TILs. Stained cells are then analyzed by FACS.
Figure: LAG-3 expression on activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) detected with LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806F).Method: T lymphocytes from human PBMC are stimulated with 1µg/ml of PHA for three days. Then, after seven days of culture, 3x106 three-days PHA-activated human PBMC are treated with LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806F) or FITC coupled isotype-matched (IgG1) control MAb (used at a saturating dilution of 1/800 and 1/150 respectively) for 30 min. at 4°C in RPMI 1640 and washed twice with 1x PBS. Stained cells are then analysed by FACS [4].
Figure: Expression of LAG-3 on CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) detected with LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806F).Method: TILs from a dissociated renal cell carcinoma sample, stained with 5µg/ml LAG-3 (human), mAb (17B4) (FITC) (Prod. No. ALX-804-806F) and FITC-coupled anti-CD4 or -CD8, are analyzed by a two-colour FACS analysis. Additional staining with anti-CD3 allowed a gate analysis of total T cells. Values indicate percentages in each quadrant [5].
