Protein expression analysis
Strain specific IL2 expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice by ELISA. Serum was collected from wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice stimulated with anti-mCD3 and anti-mCD28 in vivo, and analyzed by ELISA with species-specific IL2 ELISA kit. Mouse IL2 was detectable in wild-type mice. Human IL2 was exclusively detectable in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice but not in wild-type mice.(ND: Not detectable)
Strain specific IL2RA expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry with the species-specific anti-IL2RA antibody. Human IL2RA was exclusively detectable in T cells, CD4+ T cells and Treg cells of homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice but not in wild-type mice. Mouse IL2RA was only detectable in these cells of wild-type mice. However, IL2RA was not detectable in CD8+ T cells in both these two mice.
Strain specific IL2RA expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice stimulated with anti-CD3ε in vivo, and analyzed by flow cytometry with the species-specific anti-IL2RA antibody. Human IL2RA was exclusively detectable in T cells, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and Treg cells of homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice but not in wild-type mice. Mouse IL2RA was only detectable in these cells of wild-type mice.
Strain specific IL2RB expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry with the species-specific anti-IL2RB antibody. Human IL2RB was exclusively detectable in T cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells of homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice but not in wild-type mice. Mouse IL2RA was only detectable in these cells of wild-type mice.
Strain specific IL2RB expression analysis in homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice stimulated with anti-CD3ε in vivo, and analyzed by flow cytometry with the species-specific anti-IL2RB antibody. Human IL2RB was exclusively detectable in T cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells of homozygous B-hIL2/hIL2RA/hIL2RB mice but not in wild-type mice.

Strain specific IL2RB and IL2RG expression analysis in heterozygous and homozygous B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific antibody. Human IL2RB was detectable in heterozygous (H/+;H/+) and homozygous B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice (H/H;H/H). Human IL2RG was too low to be detectable in heterozygous, but detectable in homozygous B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice.
Strain specific IL2RB and IL2RG expression analysis in heterozygous and homozygous B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were collected from wild-type mice and B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific antibody. Human IL2RB was detectable in heterozygous (H/+;H/+) and homozygous (H/H;H/H) B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice. Human IL2RG was too low to be detectable in heterozygous mice, and it was unable to judge the IL2RG expression in NK cells, because NK cells were diminished in homozygous B-hIL2RB/hIL2RG mice.
Phosphorylation of STAT5 induced by IL2
Intracellular phosphorylation of pSTAT5 analysis in splenocytes by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were harvested and analyzed for pSTAT5 induction in the T cell subtypes of wild type C57BL/6 mice and B-hIL2/hIL2R mice. IL2 induced pSTAT5 in T cells with a dose dependent manner. Specifically induced high level of pSTAT5 in CD8+T cells. At 10ng/mL concentration, human IL2 induced higher pSTAT5 in T cells of B-hIL2/hIL2R mice than that in wild type C57BL/6 mice.
Analysis of leukocytes cell subpopulation in spleen
