2. KIR2DL1 is expressed on all NK cells derived from the patient.
KIR2DL1 is expressed on all NK cells derived from the patient. (A) Bulk NK cultures derived from the patient were incubated with targets (221; □), or with transfected with HLA-Cw4 (Cw4; ▪), at the indicated effector-target (E/T) ratios. (B) Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis for KIR2DL1 expression of bulk NK cultures derived from the patient (left) and a representative healthy donor (right) using the EB6 mAb. Staining (open histograms) is shown overlaid on background (shaded histograms). The NK cells were incubated for one hour with or without anti-KIR2DL1 mAb HP3E4 or the anti-CD99 mAb 12E7 and then tested against the various targets as in panel A. Shown is a representative NK clone (C) and NK bulk cultures (D), both derived from the patient.
