Figure 6. Ionomycin induced IL-2 production in Ra61L transduced cells is dependent on MEK signaling.

Figure 6

CARTg Th1 T cells were transduced with active Ras and preincubated for 30 minutes with varying amounts of the MEK-1 inhibitor PD98059. Cells were then either stimulated with ionomycin (50 mg/mL) for 30 minutes and analyzed for ERK phosphorylation by Western blot, or stimulated with ionomycin overnight in triplicate and supernatants were collected and analyzed for IL-2 production by ELISA. Star (*) indicates no detectable IL-2 produced by empty vector transduced cells stimulated with ionomycin. Error bars where shown indicate standard deviations of the mean between triplicate samples from the same experiment.
