Figure Lengend Snippet: AN3025 significantly inhibits MC38 tumor growth as a monotherapy in hTNFR2 mouse model. (A–E) Murine colon cancer MC38 cells (5E5) were implanted subcutaneously into homozygous TNFR2 humanized mice (female). Mice were grouped when tumor volume reached approximately 100 mm 3 . (A, B) MC38 tumor bearing TNFR2 humanized mice were treated with AN3025 at the dosage of 10mg/kg, 3mg/kg or 1mg/kg every 4 days intraperitoneally for 5 doses in total. (A) Tumor volume measurement during the treatment (n=8 each group). (B) Body weight record during the treatment (n=8 each group). (C) MC38 tumor bearing TNFR2 humanized mice were treated with AN3025 at the dosage of 10mg/kg, 3mg/kg every 3 days intraperitoneally for 3 doses in total. Tregs (CD45 + CD3 + CD4 + Foxp3 + ) frequency in total CD4 + T cells in the MC38 tumors was quantified by flow cytometry (n=6 each group). (D, E) MC38 tumor bearing TNFR2 humanized mice were treated intraperitoneally with 10mg/kg AN3025 alone or combination of 10mg/kg AN3025, 0.3mg/mouse anti-mouse CD4 depletion antibody and 0.3mg/mouse anti-mouse CD8 depletion antibody every 4 days for 5 doses in total.
