a OT-I cells isolated from wild type OT-I;Ptpn2fl/fl (n = 5–6) versus OT-I;Lck-Cre;Ptpn2fl/fl (n = 4) mice were stimulated with 1 nM of the cognate ovalbumin (OVA) peptide antigen SIINFEKL (N4) in the presence of vehicle (1% v/v DMSO) or Compound 182 (CMP-182; 1 μM) for 48 h and CD25 and CD69 mean fluorescent intensities (MFIs) in CD8+ OT-I cells were determined by flow cytometry. b OT-I cells (n = 6) were activated with 1 nM N4 for 16 h and rested in media supplemented with IL-2 (5 ng/ml) and IL-7 (0.2 ng/ml) for 2 days. On day 3, T cells were pre-treated with vehicle or 1 μM CMP-182 overnight and stimulated with 1 nM N4 plus/minus 1 μM CMP-182 in the presence of GolgiPlug™/GolgiStop™. IFN-γ+, TNF+ or Granzyme B+ (GRZMB) CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. c OT-I T cells isolated from wild-type OT-I; Ptpn2fl/fl (n = 4) versus OT-I;Lck-Cre; Ptpn2fl/fl (n = 4) mice were stained with CTV and stimulated with 0.5 nM N4 plus/minus 1 μM CMP-182 for 3 days and CTV dilution monitored by flow cytometry. d Naive CD8+ T cells (C57BL6) (n = 3) were preincubated with 10 μM CMP-182 for 4 h, the TCR cross-linked with α-mouse CD3ε (5 μg/ml) and goat anti-hamster IgG (20 μg/ml) and Y418 phosphorylated and activated SFK (p-SFK) MFIs determined by flow cytometry. e OT-I cells (C57BL/6) (n = 4) were stimulated with 1 nM N4 for 16 h, incubated plus/minus of 1 μM CMP-182 for 1 h and Y694 phosphorylated STAT-5 (p-STAT-5) in CD8+ OT-I cells assessed by flow cytometry. f OT-I cells (C57BL/6) (n = 6) were stimulated with 1 nM N4 for 16 h, incubated plus/minus 1 μM CMP-182 for 1 h, and then stimulated with IL-2 (5 ng/ml) plus/minus 1 μM CMP-182 and p-STAT-5 MFIs in CD8+ OT-I cells determined by flow cytometry. In (af) representative results (means ± SEM) from at least two independent experiments are shown. Significances in (a, c) were determined using a 1-way ANOVA Test and in (b, e) using a 2-tailed Mann-Whitney U Test. In (d, f) significances were determined using a 2-way ANOVA Test.
