Data are presented as mean ± STD of triplicate measurements. (B) The IL-2 secretion (taken from Fig. 1C) of TCR-transduced hybridoma cells does not correlate with TCR on-rate determined by SPR (see Materials

and methods) [1]. (C) gp209- 2M:HLA-A2 tetramer staining of hybridoma cells expressing gp209-specific TCRs without (top) or with (bottom) co-expression of CD8. (D, E) Tetramer decay rates were determined at 4°C by adding an anti-HLA-A2 blocking antibody to hybridoma cells expressing the indicated gp209-specific TCRs without (D) and with https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pf-562271.html (E) coexpression of CD8 that was previously stained with gp209–2M:HLA-A2 tetramer. (F) IL-2 secretion (taken from Fig. 1C) was plotted vs. the gp209–2M:HLA-A2 tetramer decay rate of hybridoma cells co-expressing gp209-specific TCR and CD8. The low R2 value and large p value indicates the lack of correlation between the two

variables. In panels B and F, only IL-2 secretion at a representative peptide concentration (8.0 μM) is shown; using other peptide concentrations yielded similar results (see Materials and methods and Supporting Information Table 1). Figure S2. Determination of 2D kinetic parameters. (A-E) A broad range of 2D effective affinities of TCR–pMHC interactions measured by micropipette adhesion frequency assay. Data shown in this figure are complementary to those shown in Fig. 3A; FG-4592 research buy combined, they constitute the 2D affinity measurements of the entire panel of TCRs expressed on CD8- hybridoma cells when interacting with gp209- 2M:HLA-A2 complexes. Forskolin in vitro Experiments were conducted as described in Fig. 3A except that different TCR-expressing cell lines were used. The data shown (including adhesion frequencies and surface densities of TCR and pMHC) are for (A) 16LD6, (B) K4H5, (C) 5CE2, (D) L2G2, and (E) W2C8 hybridomas. Each point represents mean ± SEM of Pa measured from 2–6 pairs of hybridomas cells and gp209–2M:HLA-A2 coupled RBCs. (FJ) Rapid dissociation of 2D TCR–pMHC bonds as measured by thermal fluctuation assay. Data in this figure are complementary to those shown in Fig. 4A; combined, they constitute the 2D off-rate

measurements of the entire panel of TCRs expressed on CD8- hybridoma cells when interacting with gp209–2M:HLA-A2 complexes. Experiments were conducted the same way as in Fig. 4A except that different TCR-expressing cell lines were used. Data shown are for (F) 16LD6, (G) K4H5, (H) 5CE2, (I) L2G2, and (J) W2C8 hybridomas. Triangle symbols represent outliers that were not included in linear regression analysis. (K) The 2D effective on-rates show a broad dynamic range. 2D onrates of TCR–gp209–2M:HLA-A2 association (open bars) were calculated based on 2D affinities and off-rates. The on-rates span a 5-log range across the six TCRs with a descending potency to respond to gp209–2M. The on-rate of the gp209–2M:HLA-A2– CD8 association (closed bar) was calculated similarly as that of the TCR-gp209- 2M:HLA-A2 association.
