Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Tumor growth in PyMT mice treated weekly (from week 9 until week 12) with αPD-L2 alone (TY25, 10 mg kg −1 ) or the same dose of isotype control every 3 days, doxorubicin alone or a combination of both as indicated. αPD-L2 monotherapy ( n = 3 mice); PBS and doxorubicin + IgG groups ( n = 4); doxorubicin + αPD-L2 ( n = 5). Two-way ANOVA. Inverted red triangles indicate day of doxorubicin treatment. b , c , SA-β-gal, CD3, CD4 and CD8 staining of untreated tumors and tumors treated with doxorubicin alone or in combination with αPD-L2 blocking antibody (TY25, 10 mg kg −1 ) or the same dose of isotype control ( b ), as in a , and analyzed at week 13 ( c ). Vehicle-treated group ( n = 4); doxorubicin-treated groups ( n = 5). Representative images are shown. Statistical significance shown versus the rest of the experimental conditions. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test. Scale bar, 100 μm. d , SA-β-gal and PD-L2 costaining in tumor samples from PyMT mice treated weekly with doxorubicin (4 mg kg −1 ) at postnatal weeks 9–12. The indicated groups were treated with αPD-L2 (TY25, 10 mg kg −1 ), or the same dose of IgG isotype control, every 3 days. Representative images and quantification are shown. Samples were obtained at postnatal week 13 (that is, 7 days after the last doxorubicin dose). Vehicle-treated group ( n = 4 mice); doxorubicin-treated groups ( n = 5 mice). A one-way ANOVA was used for significant changes versus the rest of the conditions. Scale bar, 100 μm. e , SA-β-gal staining, p21 mRNA levels, PD-L2 mRNA levels and PD-L2 protein levels measured using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), with and without bleomycin treatment, in human head and neck cancer primary culture from patient VHIO-008. Gene expression ( n = 4 independent replicates); FACS ( n = 1). Scale bar, 50 μm. Two-sided t -tests were used.
Article Snippet: Unspecific unions were blocked using 3% goat normal serum (catalog no. 16210064, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 60 min. Primary antibody FLEX Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human CD3 (catalog no. IR503, Agilent Technologies) was diluted 1:10 with Dako antibody diluent (code no. S0809, Agilent Technologies) for 120 min at room temperature.
