Figure 5.
Phosphorylated TF is localized at the cell membrane. HUVECs were seeded on fibronectin-coated coverslips and transduced with IL-2RTF, IL-2RTF SS/AA (Ser253Ala/Ser258Ala), or the cytoplasmic domain mutant of full-length TF virus C-S TF (Cys245Ser). Forty-eight hours after transduction the cells were either left untreated or incubated for 1 hour with 20 ng/mL PMA (+PMA) prior to staining with directly labeled αTF 10H10 F(ab′)2-TRITC (TF) or mouse αIL-2R (7G7B6) followed by αmouse IgG-TRITC and rabbit αP-TFCD followed by αrabbit IgG-FITC antibodies for confocal laser scanning microscopy.
