Fluorosomes: a convenient new reagent to detect and block multivalent and complex receptor-ligand interactions.


ABSTRACT: We describe for the first time fluorescent virus-like particles decorated with biologically active mono- and multisubunit immune receptors of choice and the basic application of such fluorosomes (FSs) to visualize and target immune receptor-ligand interactions. For that purpose, human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells were stably transfected with Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV) matrix protein (MA) GFP fusion constructs. To produce FSs, interleukins (ILs), IL-receptors (IL-Rs), and costimulatory molecules were fused to the glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol anchor acceptor sequence of CD16b and coexpressed along with MoMLV group-specific antigen-polymerase (gag-pol) in MA::GFP(+) HEK-293 cells. We show that IL-2 decorated but not control-decorated FSs specifically identify normal and malignant IL-2 receptor-positive (IL-2R(+)) lymphocytes by flow cytometry. In addition to cytokines and costimulatory molecules, FSs were also successfully decorated with the heterotrimeric IL-2Rs, allowing identification of IL-2(+) target cells. Specificity of binding was proven by complete inhibition with nonlabeled, soluble ligands. Moreover, IL-2R FSs efficiently neutralized soluble IL-2 and thus induced unresponsiveness of T cells receiving full activation stimuli via T-cell antigen receptor and CD28. FSs are technically simple, multivalent tools for assessing and blocking mono- and multisubunit immune receptor-ligand interactions with natural constituents in a plasma membrane context.
