IFNγ induced phosphorylation of STAT1 in T, B and NK cells
-
Analysis of the IFNγ induced pSTAT1(Tyr701) in wild-type C57BL/6 mice and homozygous B-hIFNGR1/hIFNG/hIFNGR2 mice by flow cytometry. Splenocytes from wild-type mice and homozygous mice (female, 7-week-old) were treated with IFNγ for ex vivo, and then flow cytometry was performed to analyze the phosphorylation of STAT1. Mouse IFN-γ induced the expression of pSTAT1 in T and B cells of wild-type mice but not humanized mice. Human IFN-γ induced the expression of pSTAT1 in T and B cells of humanized mice but not wild-type mice. Among NK cells, IFN-γ not induced the STAT1 phosphorylation in both mice.

hIFNγ upregulates mPD-L1 in splenocytes from triple-KI mice, not WT mice
-
hIFNγ upregulated mPD-L1 in splenocytes from homozygous B-hIFNGR1/hIFNG/hIFNGR2 mice (Triple-KI). Splenocytes at 0.5×106/well (96-well plate) were treated with 100ng/mL hIFNγ for 24 hours at 37℃.
