Analyses of mTOR (pS2448) expression in stimulated human peripheral blood B cells. Left Panel: Flow cytometric analysis of mTOR (pS2448) expression. Human B lymphocytes were prepared from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by negative selection using the BD IMag™ Human B Lymphocyte Enrichment Set - DM (Cat. No. 558007). The B cells were serum starved overnight in culture and were either not stimulated (dashed line histogram) or were stimulated with Type C CpG oligonucleotide (1 μM, 4 hrs; InvivoGen, Cat. No. TLRL-2395). The cells were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655; 10 minutes at 37°C) and then permeabilized by adding BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050; 30 minutes on ice). The cells were washed twice with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 554656) and then stained with BD Phosflow™ PE Mouse Anti-mTOR (pS2448) (Cat. No. 563489) and Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD20 (Cat. No. 558054) antibodies using the BD Biosciences Protocol for Intracellular Staining. The fluorescence histograms were derived from CD20 positive-gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer. Right Panel: Western blot analysis of mTOR (pS2448) expression. Aliquots of the unstimulated (lane 1) or CPG-stimulated (lane 2) B cells described above were made into lysates. The lysates were electrophoresed, transferred to membranes and blotted using Purified Mouse Anti-mTOR (pS2448) antibody (Clone O21-404; 2 μg/mL). Phosphorylated mTOR (pS2448) was identified as ~240-245 kDa band.
