Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of experimental timeline. (B, C) Cells from spleen were isolated and T cell marker expression was captured via CyTOF. High dimensional data was analyzed via Cytobank software’s viSNE algorithm. CD3+CD8+ T cells from representative PBS and Avelumab samples are shown (n=3 PBS, n=3 Avelumab analyzed total). Density gradient indicates a population more prominent in the Avelumab-treated mice (pink arrows). Additional plots display relative expression of various T cell markers. (D) In a separate analysis, CITRUS using SAM with a 5% FDR was completed using all CD3+CD8+ T cells to detect differences in the abundance of T cell subsets in PBS vs. Avelu treated mice. Parent cluster #119994 (highlighted red, with progeny clusters shaded in gray) had a significantly higher abundance in Avelumab-treated mice. (E) Cluster abundance shown as boxplot (n=6 separate CITRUS with SAM repeats produced similar results). (F) CITRUS tree with expression of markers overlayed, indicates high expression (red) to low expression (blue) of each marker. Gray shading shows parent cluster #119994 and progeny, as in D. (G) Flow cytometry completed on separate samples confirms CyTOF findings (n= 7 mice/group, experimental timeline as in A). Bars, mean; error bars, s.e.m. (*P < 0.05). (H) Above, schematic of experimental timeline. Below, average tumor growth curves for each group (n=6 in Avelu group; n=5 Avelu + anti-CD8 treatment group, dots are mean; error bars are s.e.m.).
