For time-lapse microscopy, the Flp-InTRex293 cells that carried a single copy of wild-type or various mutant CCR6 with C-terminal GFP-tag were treated with CCL20 (50 nM) in FluoroBrite medium (Gibco) while recording by timelapse microscopy for 30 minutes (Online Supplementary Figure S4). The CCR6 expression was quantified using Image J (https://theolb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/imaging-/measuring-cell-fluorescence-using-imagej.html).
For flow cytometry analysis, the Flp-InTRex293 cells with a single copy of the wild-type or mutant CCR6 expression construct were treated with CCL20 (50 nM), and an aliquot (100 mL) was taken out at the indicated times for measuring surface CCR6.10 (link),19 (link)
