Intracellular cytokine production. The intracellular mRNA expression levels of IL-4 (B, D) and IFN-γ (A, C)—as well as the relative concentrations of these cytokines in cell culture supernatants stimulated by the NA peptide (E, F) or HA1 protein (G, H) for 48 h—were determined using qRT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and analyzed using one-way ANOVA (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001; n = 4).

Summary graphic illustration. This illustration summarizes the proposed model during pituitary adenoma invasion. The tumor invasive front abuts an intact sphenoid sinus mucosa, forming a distinct boundary. The mucosal compartment is enriched for ionised calcium binding adaptor molecule 1-positive macrophages with an M1-like predominance and IgG-high B cells. B cell-derived IgG promotes M2-to-M1 macrophage reprogramming, while coordinated IFN-γ and IL-6 production establishes a tumor-suppressive cytokine gradient that decreases from mucosa toward the tumor core, constraining proliferation and migration via JAK-STAT1 activation. Therapeutically, anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody blocks the CD47-SIRPα ‘don't-eat-me’ axis and augments antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis, highlighting a strategy for immune checkpoint-targeted therapy that may complement surgical management. FcR, Fc receptor; JAK, Janus kinase; mAb, monoclonal antibody; p-, phosphorylated; SIRPα, signal regulatory protein-α.

Cellular immune responses mapped by peptide pools. A IFN-γ ELISpot responses of splenocytes collected at Day 45 post-prime from BALB/c mice immunized with Arm-Vax, Cl13-Vax, the bivalent Arm+Cl13-Vax, or mock control. Cells were restimulated ex vivo with the indicated GPC peptide pools (Shared, Arm-full, Cl13-full, Arm-only, and Cl13-only), and responses are presented as spot-forming units (SFUs) per 10 6 splenocytes. B Representative ELISpot well images showing responses to a positive control stimulus (PHA), the Shared peptide pool, and a negative control for each immunization group.
