Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) EL4-Ova tumor-bearing nude mice, ( C ) Batf3 KO mice, or ( D ) CD8 + -depleted mice were injected (intratumorally) twice with 100 μg of mVSVG-Exo, Con-Exo, or PBS. Tumor size (mm 3 ) profiles ( n = 5 to 6). ( B ) EL4-Ova tumor-bearing nude mice were treated (intratumorally) four times with 100 μg of mVSVG-Exo, Con-Exo, or PBS. Tumor size (mm 3 ) profiles ( n = 6 to 8). Arrows indicate treatment time points. ( E and F ) On day 6 after tumor inoculation, EL4-Ova tumor-bearing mice were treated (intratumorally) twice at a 1-day interval with 100 μg of mVSVG-Exo, wtVSVG-Exo, Con-Exo, or PBS. Tumor tissues of EL4-Ova tumor models were extracted at day 18. (E) Representative immunofluorescence images (left) of CD8 + T cell infiltration in the tumor tissues from treated mouse. The number of CD8 + T cells per mm 2 was analyzed using ImageJ software (right) ( n = 10 to 12). Scale bars, 50 μm. (F) The average levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, or IL-2 on CD8 + T cells in tumor tissues were evaluated by flow cytometry. Data are presented as means of relative MFI toward the control ( n = 3). P values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The CD8 + T cell enrichment columns and IFN-γ and IFN-β enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were purchased from R&D Systems.
