58.NFAT-GFP cells expressing human CD4 (58.NFAT-GFP.CD4) were generated by transducing the 58.NFAT-GFP line with retroviral particles carrying the pMX hCD4 transfer plasmid (Addgene [32 (link)]) and subsequent sorting of cells based on high CD4 expression using the SH800 cell sorter (Sony Biotechnology). Importantly, human CD4 interacts well with both human and mouse MHC class II molecules [36 (link)].
TCR expressing versions of the 58 cell line were generated by transducing 58 cells with the TCR-pMSCVII-Ametrine (hTCR-pMIA) plasmid [29 (link)], and sorting cells based on strong Ametrine signal or strong staining with anti-mouse CD3, rabbit anti-TCR alpha/TRAC Picoband polyclonal antibody (Bosterbio), and PE donkey anti-rabbit (BioLegend).
