Figure 1. High−throughput staining of polyclonally expanded TILs with a panel of pHLA multimers.

(A, B) Staining of HLA-A*02:01+ (A) and C*05:01+ (B) M87 TILs with pHLA multimers whose peptides were previously known or predicted by publicly available algorithms. The peptides employed for the A*02:01 and C*05:01 multimers are shown in Supplementary files 1b and f, respectively. (A) The TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/ABCB5700-708 (No. 14), A*02:01/gp100154-162 (No. 51), A*02:01/tyrosinase369-377 (No. 66), A*02:01/wild-type MART127-35 (No. 83), and A*02:01/heteroclitic MART126-35 (No. 84) multimers. (B) The TILs showed positivity to the C*05:01/tyrosinase460-468 (No. 36) multimer. The A*02:01/HIV pol476-484 (No. 87 in A), A*02:01/HTLV-1 tax11-19 (No. 88 in A), A*02:01/unexchanged (No. 89 in A), C*05:01/HIV rev67-75 (No. 50 in B), and C*05:01/unexchanged (No. 51 in B) multimers were used as negative controls. (C–E) Positive staining of TILs with a panel of pHLA multimers for HLA-A*02:01+ M25, M31, M37, M40, M66, and M96 TILs (C), HLA-A*24:02+ M37 TILs (D), and HLA-B*07:02+ M68 TILs (E). All the high-throughput staining data are shown in Figure 1—figure supplement 1. (C) M25 and M96 TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/wild-type MART127-35 (No. 83) and A*02:01/heteroclitic MART126-35 (No. 84) multimers. M31 TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/wild-type NY-ESO-1157-165 (No. 85) and A*02:01/heteroclitic NY-ESO-1157-165 (No. 86) multimers. M37 TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/SSX241-49 (No. 48) multimer. M40 TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/SSX241-49 (No. 48), A*02:01/wild-type NY-ESO-1157-165 (No. 85), and A*02:01/heteroclitic NY-ESO-1157-165 (No. 86) multimers. M66 TILs showed positivity to the A*02:01/gp100154-162 (No. 51), A*02:01/gp100209-217 (No. 54), A*02:01/gp100280-288 (No. 55), A*02:01/wild-type MART127-35 (No. 83), and A*02:01/heteroclitic MART126-35 (No. 84) multimers. (D) M37 TILs showed positivity to the A*24:02/gp100-intron4 (No. 13) multimer. (E) M68 TILs showed positivity to the B*07:02/NY-ESO-160-72 (No. 4) and B*07:02/MAGE-A1289-297 (No. 51) multimers. The A*02:01/HTLV-1 tax11-19 (No. 88 in C), A*24:02/HTLV-1 tax301-309 (No. 64 in D), and B*07:02/HIV nef128-137 (No. 59 in E) multimers were used as negative controls. The red squares highlight positive TIL staining with pHLA multimers. The percentage of multimer+ cells in CD8+ T cells is shown. The data shown are representative of two independent experiments.
