Cell-surface expression of mLMIR5. (A) Ba/F3 cells transduced with a Flag-tagged mLMIR5 or mock were stained with FITC-conjugated mouse IgG1 or anti-Flag Ab as well as polyclonal goat IgG or anti-mLMIR5 Ab, followed by PE-conjugated anti-goat IgG F(ab′)2. (B) Analysis of mLMIR5 expression on hematopoietic cells derived from C57BL/6 mice. Single-cell suspensions were prepared from BM, PB, peritoneal cavity, and thymus. Cells were stained with control IgG or anti-mLMIR5 Ab followed by PE-conjugated anti-goat IgG F(ab′)2 and FITC-conjugated mAbs as indicated. In BM, PB, and peritoneal cells, FSChighSSChigh populations representing myeloid lineage were gated and analyzed for mLMIR5 expression. In thymus, the FSClowSSClow populations representing lymphoid lineage were analyzed. (C) Single-cell suspensions were prepared from spleen. After B220+, CD3+, CD11b+, or CD11c+ cells were sorted by using FITC-conjugated Abs, these cells were stained as described in panel B. (D) Analysis of mLMIR5 expression on murine BM-derived cells. BMMCs, BMmDCs, BMpDCs, and BMMΦ were stained with control IgG or anti-mLMIR5 Ab followed by PE-conjugated anti-goat IgG F(ab′)2. The result of control or mLMIR5 staining is shown as a filled or bold-lined histogram, respectively. All the data are representative of 3 independent experiments.
