a,b, Flow cytometry analysis of the indicated ICRs, TOX, T-bet, and TCF1 (a) or effector-related molecules (b) in wildtype OT1 CD8 T cells cultured in vitro under mock or OVA257-264-stimulated effector or exhaustion conditions. c-g, Immunoblot analysis of Dapl1 knockdown (c) and flow cytometry analysis of the expression of PD1+ (d), Tim3+ (e), TOX (f), and TCF1 (g) in human CD8 T cells transduced with a control (Ctrl) shRNA or a Dapl1-specific shRNA and cultured under unexhaustion(cultured with 50 U/ml hIL-2) and exhaustion (three round of stimulation with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 Dynabeads) conditions. Data are representative of three independent experiments.
