Fig. 5

a Confocal microscopy of HEK293T cells expressing HA-US28 and non-US28 targeting intrabody-mVenus (Irr Nb mV), VUN103-mVenus (VUN103 mV) or Nb7-mVenus (Nb7 mV) with (CX3CL1) or without (No CX3CL1) the addition of 30 nM CX3CL1. US28 was stained with an anti-HA Alexa Fluor555 antibody on ice before the addition of CX3CL1 to stain the US28 receptor population on the surface. Cells were fixated 20 min after the addition of CX3CL1 and stained US28 (US28 and different nanobody-mVenus (Nb-mVenus) constructs were visualized. Representative data of two independent experiments. b Saturation BRET with HEK293T cells expressing US28-Renilla luciferase (US28-Rluc) and different ratios of Irr Nb mV, VUN103 mV, or Nb7 mV. Data were plotted as the ratio of nanobody-mVenus constructs (Nb-mVenus) and US28-Rluc (n = 3 independent experiments). c BRET using HEK293T cells expressing US28-Rluc, US28-Rluc, and VUN103 mV or Nb7 mV 30 min after addition of 30 nM CX3CL1 (CX3CL1). BRET signal was normalized to the signal of unstimulated (untreated) HEK293T cells expressing US28-Rluc only at timepoint t = 0 (n = 3 independent experiments). d BRET with HEK293T cells expressing US28-Nluc, Venus-mini-Gαq, and an inducible FLAG-tagged non-US28 targeting intrabody (Irr Nb-FLAG), FLAG-tagged VUN103 (VUN103-FLAG) or FLAG-tagged Nb7 (Nb7-FLAG) 30 min after addition of 100 nM CX3CL1 (CX3CL1). Expression of FLAG-tagged intrabodies was induced using 100 nM of tebufenozide, one day prior to read-out. BRET signal was normalized to the signal of the unstimulated (Untreated) HEK293T cells (n = 3 independent experiments). All data are plotted as mean ± SD. Statistical analyses were performed using an unpaired two-tailed t-test. ns, p > 0.05. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
