Competitive binding of peptide 6 with FITC-labeled antibody to Caco-2
cells expressing CD58 monitored by flow cytometry (BD FACS Calibur). 10,000
cells were counted using green fluorescence. The figure represents forward and
side scatter representation of Caco-2 cells. A) Caco-2 cells without peptide or
antibody. More than 85% of the unstained cells are observed in the lower
left quadrant. B) Cells with FITC-AbCD58. There was a forward shift and more
than 82% of stained cells were observed in the lower right quadrant. C,
D, E, and F) Cells with peptide 6 and FITC-AbCD58 at peptide concentrations of
1, 50, 100, and 200 µM, respectively. Notice that in the presence of
peptide 6, more Caco-2 cells without antibody labeling (cell population shifted
to left compared to B) were observed, suggesting the inhibition of FITC-AbCD58
to Caco-2 cells.
