a, Phagocytosis assay for uptake of pHrodo-labelled Karpas-299-Cas9 cells expressing indicated sgRNAs, incubated with J774 macrophages expressing indicated sgRNAs, in the presence of anti-CD30 antibodies. Phagocytosis index (arbitrary units) corresponds to the total pHrodo Red signal per well, normalized to SafeKO Karpas-299 cells fed to SafeKO macrophages. Data represent mean +/− s.d. (n = 4 cell culture wells). Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. b, Phagocytosis assay for uptake of pHrodo-labelled Ramos cells expressing indicated sgRNAs, incubated with U937 macrophages expressing indicated sgRNAs (three independent sgRNAs per gene), in the presence of anti-CD20 antibodies. Phagocytosis index (arbitrary units) corresponds to the total pHrodo Red signal per well, normalized to SafeKO Ramos cells fed to SafeKO-1 macrophages. Data represent mean +/− s.d. (n = 4 cell culture wells). Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction, P values for comparisons to SafeKO Ramos/SafeKO-1 U937 macrophages shown. c, Gating strategy for collecting single-positive and double-negative macrophage populations, corresponding to macrophages that phagocytosed calcein+ SafeKO or Far-red+ APMAPKO cells. d, Volcano plot for macrophage screen for genes required for uptake of SafeKO Ramos cells, using 2,208-gene sublibrary (enriched for phagocytosis genes, but lacking GPR84), conducted in J774 macrophages. Dotted line indicates 5% FDR. e, Volcano plot for macrophage screen for genes required for uptake of APMAPKO Ramos cells, using 2,208-gene sublibrary (enriched for phagocytosis genes, but lacking GPR84) in J774 macrophages. Dotted line indicates 5% FDR. f, Volcano plot for macrophage screen for genes required selectively for uptake of APMAPKO cells, following screen design in Fig. 4a (comparison 2), but using 2,208-gene sublibrary (enriched for phagocytosis genes, but lacking GPR84) in J774 macrophages, for uptake of calcein+ SafeKO cells and far-red+ APMAPKO Ramos cells. Dotted line indicates 5% FDR. g, Phagocytosis assay for uptake of pHrodo-labelled Ramos cells expressing indicated sgRNAs, incubated with J774 macrophages expressing indicated sgRNAs, in the presence of anti-CD20 antibodies. Phagocytosis index (arbitrary units) corresponds to the total pHrodo Red signal per well, normalized to SafeKO Ramos cells fed to SafeKO macrophages. Data represent mean +/− s.d. (n = 3 cell culture wells). Two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. P-values correspond to comparisons to SafeKO-1. h, FACS-based phagocytosis assay for uptake of CellTrace Far-Red-labelled APMAPKO cells and calcein-labelled CD47KO Ramos cells by J774-Cas9 macrophages expressing indicated sgRNAs. Ratio of macrophages that phagocytosed APMAPKO Ramos cells to macrophages that phagocytosed CD47KO Ramos cells, normalized to SafeKO/SafeKO J774 macrophages, following 24 h co-incubation with anti-CD20 antibodies is plotted. Data represent mean +/− s.d. (n = 3 cell culture wells). One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction, P-values for comparisons to SafeKO/SafeKO J774 macrophages shown.
