mRNA expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of CCR8 gene expression in C57BL/6 and B-hCCR8 mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Ccr8 mRNA was detectable in thymocytes of wild-type mice (+/+) . Human CCR8 mRNA was detectable only in homozygous B-hCCR8 mice (H/H) but not in wild-type mice (+/+).
Protein expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of CCR8 gene expression in B-hCCR8 mice by FACS. MC38 cells were inoculated into wild-type C57BL/6 (+/+) and homozygous B-hCCR8 mice (H/H). Tumors were harvested at the endpoint of experiment, and the TILs were analyzed by flow cytometry. Human CCR8 was both detectable on CD4+ T cells and Treg cells in tumors of homozygous B-hCCR8 mice, and mouse CCR8 was detectable only in wild-type mice.

Single live cells were gated for the CD45+ population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. Percent of T cell, B cell, NK cell, monocyte, dendritic cell, granulocyte and macrophage in homozygous B-hCCR8 mice were similar to those in the C57BL/6 mice, demonstrating that CCR8 humanized does not change the overall development, differentiation or distribution of these cell types in spleen. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

Protein expression analysis of mouse and human CCR8 in tumor
Strain specific analysis of CCR8 gene expression in B-hCCR8 mice by FACS. TILs were harvested at the endpoint of experiment, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Human CCR8 was both detectable on CD4+ T cells and Treg cells in tumors of homozygous B-hCCR8 mice, and mouse CCR8 was detectable in wild-type mice.
Protein expression analysis of mouse and human CCR8 in spleen
Strain specific analysis of CCR8 gene expression in B-hCCR8 mice by FACS. Splenocytes were harvested at the endpoint of experiment, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Mouse CCR8 was slightly expressed in Treg cells in spleen of wild-type mice, but human CCR8 was not detectable in homozygous B-hCCR8 mice. Because the CCR8 expression was low in the spleen, so maybe the CCR8 expressed much lower in the spleen of homozygous B-hCCR8 mice that we can’t detect it, or the antibody dose we used in this experiment is not saturated.
Protein expression analysis of mouse and human CCR8 in blood
Strain specific analysis of CCR8 gene expression in B-hCCR8 mice by FACS. Blood cells were harvested at the endpoint of experiment, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Human and mouse CCR8 were not expressed neither in blood cells of wild-type mice nor human CCR8 separately.
