A549 cells, parental or stably expressing CD8 or NCOA7, were seeded in 6-well plates. Unmodified cells were treated with 50 nM bafilomycin A1 for 1 hr prior to infection (inhibition control). Medium was removed and cells were infected in serum-free DMEM with A/Victoria/3/75 at MOI of 30 and incubated for 1 hr at 37°C. Cells were then trypsinized, and both fixed and stained using IntraStain (Dako) with monoclonal antibody A1 (14 (link)), which is specific for HA that has undergone low pH induced conformational change (provided by Yohei Yamauchi). Alexa-647 conjugated anti-mouse total IgG (Life Technologies) was used as secondary antibody, and cells were analyzed by imaging flow cytometry (see below) using the 647 nm laser for excitation.
