Transduced CTLs surface express HA tag of mutant TGF-βRII receptor.
Cells of an EBV-specific CTL line 14 days after retroviral transduction with SFG:eGFP were stained with either PE-labeled anti-IgG1 (A) or anti-CD3 antibodies (B). CTLs transduced with SFG:HATGF-βRII-Δcyt (truncated TGF-βRII containing HA tag) gene were stained with FITC-labeled donkey antirabbit antibody alone (isotype control) (C). Nontransduced (D) or HATGF-βRII-Δcyt–transduced CTLs (E,F) were then stained with anti-HA monoclonal antibody followed by incubation with FITC-labeled donkey antirabbit antibody and PE-labeled CD8 or CD4 antibody. Six weeks after sorting CTLs for the HA tag, HA expression was measured on CD8+ cells (G [isotype control] and H). Surface immunofluorescence was analyzed by flow cytometry.
