    Figure 4. Rejection of CDDP-TMZ-primed tumors is mediated by CD8 + T cells and elicits immunological memory (A) Graphical summary for CD8 + and/or CD4 + T cell depletion experiment. A total of 5 × 10 5 CDDP-TMZ-primed CT26 cells were injected subcutaneously in the right flank of each immunocompetent (BALB/c) mouse. Mice were randomized into 4 treatment groups: control (CTRL) receiving only the vehicle, CD8 + T cell depletion (aCD8) receiving murine <t>anti-CD8a</t> antibody, CD4 + T cell depletion (aCD4) receiving murine anti-CD4 antibody, and CD8 + and CD4 + T cell depletion receiving both murine aCD8 and aCD4 antibodies. (B and C) Tumor growth of CDDP-TMZ-primed CT26 tumors upon T cell depletion. (B) Average of mice tumor volumes (mm 3 ) ± SEM; statistical significance evaluated by Mann-Whitney test: ****p < 0.001. (C) Single tumor volumes from (B). (D) Effect of unprimed CT26 rechallenge in immunocompetent mice that previously rejected CDDP-TMZ-primed tumors. Subsequent inoculation of CT26 un- primed or primed with single agent TMZ or CDDP (red arrow) in previously challenged (vaccinated) BALB/c mice (corresponding to tumor-free mice from Figure 3B), compared with naive BALB/c mice; n = 10 in vaccinated BALB/c group, n = 5 in naive BALB/c group.

    ( A ) Pre-activated human and murine <t>CD8</t> + T cells were treated with increasing doses of native IL-21 and 21h10 for 20 minutes and stained with AF488-phospho-STAT1 and AF647-phospho-STAT3 for flow cytometry analysis. ( B ) Genes related to cellular signaling and phenotype are compared for expression levels between murine CD8 + T cells treated with PBS, mIL-21, or 21h10 at 100 pM or 1 nM. * indicates memory-related genes, and ** indicates effector-related genes. Murine CD8 + T cells were pre-activated with TCR signals and treated with the cytokines at different concentrations for 24 hours, and cells were harvested for RNA-sequencing. ( C ) The percentage of IFN-𝛾-secreting cells within isolated CD8 + T cells upon treating PBS, mIL-21, or 21h10 at 1 nM, was quantified using flow cytometry after 5 hours of stimulation with PMA/Ionomycin in the presence of a protein transport inhibitor. ( D ) LCMV was inoculated into healthy mice along with daily injections of PBS, mIL-21 (2.5 µg per mouse), or 21h10 (2.5 µg per mouse). LCMV-specific CD8 + T cells from PBMC and spleen were analyzed for granzyme B expression. ( E ) Computational model of 21AT36, which is redesigned from 21h10 using ProteinMPNN, to bind IL-21R but not bind 𝛾 c . The mutated residues are highlighted in red, which abolish interactions with 𝛾 c . The 𝛾 c is included in the figure to show where the interface is positioned, not to imply that 21AT36 binds to 𝛾 c . ( F ) Western blot for STAT and pSTAT with vehicle (PBS), mIL-21, 21h10, and 21AT36 in TRP1 high CD8 + T cells. ( G ) MC38-bearing mice were treated with PBS, 21AT36, 21h10, or anti-PD-1 for 14 days. ( H ) Mice were inoculated with MC38 and treated with PBS, mIL-21, 10-fold dose mIL-21, and 21h10. ( I ) Western blot for STAT and pSTAT in the spleens of mice treated with vehicle (PBS), mIL-21, and 21h10 ( J ) Normalized pSTAT3/STAT3 in spleens of treated mice over 24 hours from ( I ).
