CS does not induce nonspecific binding of tetramers to LMNCs. (A) Different groups of CBA/J mice were PCl skin sensitized or i.v. injected with 0.5 μg of α-GalCer, and 4 h later LMNCs were obtained and stained with CD1d-α-GalCer tetramers or PE-CD1d–unloaded tetramers to evaluate nonspecific binding. We analyzed pooled LMNCs from four mice per group. (B) Different groups of Jα18−/− or CD1d−/− mice and appropriate WT controls were PCl sensitized, and 2 h later LMNCs were obtained. The LMNCs were stained to analyze Vα14i NKT cells by flow cytometry. The numbers indicate the percentages of tetramer-positive liver TCRβ+ cells analyzing pooled LMNCs from four mice per group.
