(A) Flow cytometry measurements of the indicated cell surface markers in K562 cells expressing the indicated sgRNAs. N = 9–24 samples per condition. ***p<0.0001, **p=0.001, ns p>0.1, Mann-Whitney Test. (B) Flow cytometry measurement of CD80 surface expression in control K562 cells or those transduced with lentivirus to overexpress CD80. Gate shows level of background fluorescence in unstained cells. (C) Results of competitive co-culture between indicated K562 cell types and NK-92 cells, performed at 1:1 E:T ratio. K562 cells were unmanipulated (‘control’) or overexpressed wild-type CD80 (CD80wt) or mutant CD80 (CD80mut; contains Q65A and M72A point mutations that abrogate CD28 binding). *p=0.005, **p=0.0007, NS p>0.1, unpaired T test. (D) xperimental design of CD80 blockade experiment. (E) Effect of blocking antibodies to CD80 on NK-92 activation, measured by CD107 flow cytometry on NK-92 cells after 4 hr of co-culture. Data points from experiments performed on the same day are joined by lines of the same color. **p=0.03, *p=0.06, ns p>0.1, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. Experiment performed four times, 2x sgRNAs per condition. (F) Percent decrease in NK-92 degranulation after CD80 antibody treatment of indicated target cells. Data points from experiments performed same day are joined by lines. Mean is indicated. **p=0.03, Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test.
