doi: 10.1002/adma.202417348
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Validating the immune-mediated anti-tumor effect of the multivalent nanoconjugate cancer vaccine platform in a melanoma PDX mouse model. a) Representative images of gp100 expression in a murine tumor from a PDX tumor derived from a melanoma patient. Images acquired at 8x magnification. Scale bar 400 μm b) Timeline (days) of tumor inoculation, immunization, and 𝛼PD-1 treatment (s.c. = subcutaneous). c) Tumor growth curve. Data presented as mean ± SEM (6 < N < 7). One-way ANOVA. P values correspond to tumor volume on days fifteen/seventeen after treatment initiation. Representative images of xenograft tumors at day seventeen post-treatment initiation. d–h) Percentage of (d) CD3+ T cells within the tumor and (e) CD8+, (f) CD4+, (g) CD3+PD-1+, and (h) CD8+PD-1+ T cells within the spleen at day seventeen post-treatment initiation. Data presented as the mean ± SD, n = 3. Statistics: one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey post-hoc test; i–k) Quantification of tumor-infiltrating (i) CD3+, (j) CD4+, and (k) CD8+ T-cell populations, in addition to l) Caspase-3 and m) Ki67 by immunostaining at day seventeen. Data presented as mean ± SEM, n ≥3 animals. n) Representative images of tumor immunostaining for CD3, CD4, CD8, Caspase-3, and Ki67 in all treated mice. Scale bar 200 μm o) Representative images of H&E tumor staining from mice treated with PBS, StCl-GI_GII, and StCl-GI_GII + ɑPD-1. Extended tumor necrosis in the three groups (i, ii, and iii), with active apoptosis, inflammatory intra, and peri-tumor response in StCl-GI_GII and StCl-GI_GII + ɑPD1 groups (ii, iii). HE,10X-20X magnification; scale bar 120–250 μm.
