In some experiments, 4 1 6 4.1 + OT-1 splenocytes were transferred i.v. followed by IL-/IL-Rα complex treatment. Splenocytes were stimulated h with SIINKL peptide (2 μg/ml, naspec). fter cell-surface staining with anti-nk1.1, -3ε, -α, 4, or 4.1, cells were fixed and intracellularly stained using ytoix/ytoperm reagents ( iosciences) containing anti-inγ, TNα, or isotype control. egranulation was analyzed using similar conditions in the presence of anti-17a-p or isotype control. Proliferative potential was tested by intracellular staining using anti-k i -67 ( iosciences) or isotype control. LI assay was performed according to manufacturer s protocol (Immunohemistry Technologies). ells were analyzed using S alibur, S ria ( iosciences) and lowjo software (Tree Star). Modifications to IL-/IL-Rα Treatments. Leukocytes were depleted using mbs specific for α (2.43, 2 μg) and 4 (GK1., 3 μg) (ioxell). ntibodies were injected every 3 d intraperitoneally starting 2 d before IL-/IL-Rα complex treatment until the end of the sustained treatments.

In vitro cytotoxicity assays were performed by lactate dehydrogenase release (LH) assay (ytotox 96 nonradioactive cytotoxicity assay, Promega) according to manufacturer s protocol. NK cells were enriched in splenocytes by depletion of 3ε + and 19 + cells using biotinylated antibodies and MS (Miltenyi). Proportion of NK cells were determined in each sample by flow cytometry and normalized among three groups to have 2 3% NK cells in each effector population. ssay was performed in 96-well U-bottom plates with 1 1 4 Y1 cells with different amounts of NK cell-enriched splenocytes to obtain effector:target ratios indicated. bsorbance was recorded at 49 nm using a Victor 3V plate reader (Perkin-lmer). Percentage of cytotoxicity was calculated as [(xperimental-ffector spontaneous Target spontaneous)/target maximum Target spontaneous) 1]. or in vivo killing, NK cell cytotoxicity against allogeneic target cells was assessed by a carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (S)-based in vivo assay. riefly, syngeneic splenocytes (H-2b) labeled with.2 μm S (S low ) served as the control population, and allogeneic splenocytes (H-2q) labeled with. μm S (S high ) served as the target population. S low and S high cells at a 1:1 ratio (total of 3 1 6 cells) were injected i.v. into control mice or IL-/IL-Rα complex-treated mice 2 d after the last dose.
