Protein expression analysis

Strain specific CD73 expression analysis in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type C57BL/6 mice (+/+;+/+) and homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice (H/H;H/H), and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific anti-CD73 antibody. Mouse CD73 was detectable in wild-type mice. Human CD73 was exclusively detectable in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice but not in wild-type mice.

Analysis of spleen leukocyte subpopulations by FACS. Splenocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-hCD73/hCD39 mice (n=3, 10-week-old). Flow cytometry analysis of the splenocytes was performed to assess leukocyte subpopulations. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live cells were gated for the CD45+ population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. Percent of T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that CD73/CD39 humanized does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these cell types in spleen. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Analysis of T cell subpopulation in spleen

Analysis of spleen T cell subpopulations by FACS. Splenocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-hCD73/hCD39 mice (n=3, 10-week-old).  Flow cytometry analysis of the splenocytes was performed to assess leukocyte subpopulations. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live CD45+ cells were gated for TCRβ+ T cell population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. The percent of CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells and Tregs in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that introduction of CD73/CD39 in place of its mouse counterpart does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these T cell subtypes in spleen. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Analysis of leukocytes cell subpopulation in lymph node

Analysis of lymph node leukocyte subpopulations by FACS. Leukocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-hCD73/hCD39 mice (n=3, 10-week-old). Flow cytometry analysis of the leukocytes was performed to assess leukocyte subpopulations. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live cells were gated for CD45+ population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. The percent of T cells, B cells and NK cells in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that introduction of CD73/CD39 in place of its mouse counterpart does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these cell types in lymph node.

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Analysis of leukocytes cell subpopulation in blood

Analysis of blood leukocyte subpopulations by FACS. Leukocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-hCD73/hCD39 mice (n=3, 10-week-old). Flow cytometry analysis of the blood was performed to assess leukocyte subpopulations. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live cells were gated for the CD45+ population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. Percent of T cells, B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, granulocytes, monocytes and macrophages in homozygous B-hCD73/hCD39 mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that CD73/CD39 humanized does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these cell types in blood.
