SU-immunoadhesin binding to CHO cells expressing
XPR1 or Pit2. Cells were transduced with L(XPR1)SN (XPR1, filled
histograms), L(Pit2)SN (Pit2, thin lines), or the LXSN vector without
an insert (nil, thick lines) and were selected in G418 to generate
polyclonal populations of vector-expressing cells. The cells were
detached by treatment with 1 mM EDTA, were washed with PBS, were
incubated with ASU-hFc (Left) or XSU-hFc
(Right) for 30 min at 37°C, were washed twice with
PBS, were incubated with rabbit F(ab′)2 anti-human IgG
conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (Dako), and were washed before
flow cytometric analysis. Dead and clumped cells were excluded by
gating on forward and high-angle light scatter and exclusion of
propidium iodide (1 μg/ml), and 50,000 gated events were analyzed
per sample.
