Biochemical characterization of 2B4-associated molecules in normal and XLP-NK cells. (a) NK or XLP-NK cell populations, either untreated (−) or treated (+) with sodium pervanadate, were immunoprecipitated with anti-2B4 (S39 mAb), anti-IRp60 (P192 mAb, isotype-matched negative control), or anti-SH2D1A antiserum. Samples were analyzed in a 14% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and probed with anti-SH2D1A antiserum. (b) 2B4, IRp60 (positive control), and NKp46 (BAB281 mAb, negative control) molecules were sequentially immunoprecipitated from normal polyclonal NK cell populations either untreated (−) or treated (+) with sodium pervanadate. Identical samples were divided, analyzed in 7% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, and probed with either anti–SHP-2 (left) or anti–SHP-1 (right) mAbs. Sepharose-PA preclearing on treated cells (/) is also shown. (c) Anti-2B4, anti–SHP-2, or anti–SHP-1 immunoprecipitates were derived from XLP-NK cell populations either untreated (−) or treated (+) with sodium pervanadate. Identical samples were divided, analyzed in 7% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, and probed with either anti–SHP-2 (left) or anti–SHP-1 (right) mAbs. Molecular mass markers (kD) are indicated. Arrows indicate SH2D1A, SHP-2, and SHP-1 molecules. The first lanes in b and c were loaded with the S39 (2B4-specific) mAb alone as control.
