Figure Lengend Snippet: Val-ILs affect immunosuppressive cells and B lymphoma growth BALB/c mice were s.c. injected with 10 6 A20 cells. When tumors reached 50 mm 3 , mice were i.v. injected with Val-ILs (10 12 NPs) on days 6, 9, and 12. Analyses were performed on day 15. (A) UMAP data frame and heatmap following FC showing the expression levels of the nine antigens targeted by Val-ILs-Combo among immune cells detected in the TME. Mean normalized data of n = 8 untreated mice. (B) NPs reduced the tumor volumes measured in vivo. Image of tumors isolated ex vivo , n = 8 mice per group, four did not develop tumors (black cross). (C) UMAP data showing that Val-ILs-Combo affected the repartition of immune cells in the TME. (D) NPs affected the repartition of immune cells in the spleen. (E and F) Val-ILs-Combo reduced the amount of Th17, Tregs, MDSCs, TAMs, or macrophages, in the TME (E) and the spleen (F). (G) Histogram showing the number of antigens targeted by the NPs and found repressed on the cell surface of various immune cell populations. (H) FC on TAMs in the TME and macrophages in the spleen, to identify M1-like and M2-like phenotypes. (I) FC on tDCs in the TME and DCs in the spleen, to identify the percentage of activated MHC II + DCs. (J) FC on CD4 + and CD8 + T-Ly in the TDLNs showing an increase in these populations. (K) FC showing that Val-ILs-Combo reduced the amount of Th17 and Tregs in the TDLNs. (L) Tumor growth volumes measured in vivo following the injection of Val-ILs-Combo and/or αPD-1 (200 μg). Image of tumors isolated ex vivo , n = 8 mice per group. The number of mice used per group is indicated on the figure, data are shown as means ± SD, and p values are compared to Val-ILs-IgG and are calculated using a two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test.
