Tag7 (PGLYRP1) Can Induce an Emergence of the CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127+ Cells with Antitumor Activity

Figure 2

Tag7 participates in cytotoxic activity of CD4+CD25+ cells. (a) The cytotoxic activity of the CD4+ lymphocyte subpopulations (CD4+CD25− and CD4+CD25+) against the K562 cells and the cytotoxic activity of the CD4+CD25+ subpopulation after a 30 min preincubation of the lymphocytes with anti-granzyme B, FasL, and anti-Tag7 antibodies, or the control Ab, and after a 30 min preincubation of the K562 cells with anti-Fas or anti-Hsp70 antibodies. Statistics: two-way ANOVA versus control (, ). Control cell death was 1 ± 1 for lymphocytes and 3 ± 1 for K562 cells. (b) Flow cytometry of the CD4+CD25+ T lymphocytes, isolated from the PBMC pool on day 6 of incubation with Tag7 and stained with the rabbit anti-Tag7 antibodies followed by the FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit antibodies and CD25-PE.
