Figure Lengend Snippet: TIL immunophenotypes in CT26 tumors from mice treated with mIL-21 +/− mPD-1 or mCTLA-4 mAbs. TILs from mice implanted SC with CT26 tumor cells and treated with control mIgG, mIL-21, mCTLA-4 mAb (9D9-mIgG2b), mPD-1 mAb (4H2-mIgG1), or mIL-21 + mPD-1 or mCTLA-4 mAbs were isolated on study day 16, stained with various markers of immune cell subsets, and evaluated by flow cytometry. The (A) %CD8+ of live CD45+, (B) %CD25+FoxP3+ of CD4+, (C) %CD335+ of live CD45+, and (D) %PD-1+CD69- of CD8+ cells, are shown for each treatment group, indicated on the x-axes. The (E) ratios of the % CD8+ T cells of live CD45+ (Teff) to the % CD4+CD25+ of live CD45+ (Tregs) are plotted. Each symbol represents data from one mouse in the group and mean values are indicated with horizontal lines. Asterisks (*, **, ***, ****) indicate p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001 or p < 0.0001, respectively, for differences between the groups indicated by 1-way ANOVA. Study was conducted one time.
Article Snippet: CT26 cells (CRL-2639, ATCC) were cultured in RPMI 1640 media (SH30027, HyClone) supplemented with 10% FBS and GlutaMAX.
