Reactivity of different peripheral blood cells with a panel of FITC-conjugated anti-CTLA-4 scFvs and the commercial BN13 mAb by flow cytometry. Fluorescence intensity was scored as follows: −, negative; ±, weak; and + to ++, positive, with grading from 1 log to more than 1 log of histogram shift relative to the negative control. The FITC-conjugated anti-BSA scFv 26 and a FITC-conjugated mouse IgG1 mAb were used as negative controls for anti-CTLA-4 scFvs and BN13 mAb, respectively. All cell samples were tested either resting or in vitro activated, except granulocytes that were derived from in vivo G-CSF–treated donors, as described in “Patients, materials and methods.”
