Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic illustration of the timeline for B16F10-Luc tumor inoculation and treatments in a C57BL/6 mouse model. ip, intraperitoneally. ( B ) In vivo bioluminescence imaging of B16F10-Luc tumor growth after administration with different formulations. n = 3 biologically independent samples. d, days. ( C ) Data analysis of the bioluminescence signals of the mice. Representative flow cytometry analysis plots of CD8 + T cells ( D ) and NK1.1 cells ( E ) in the spleens of mice after receiving LNP@PRO P+B and aCD8 + aNK1.1 + LNP@PRO P+B treatments. ( F ) Schematic diagram of the treatment process for the lung metastasis model. ( G ) Representative images of the excised lungs from each treatment group following the completion of the treatment. Yellow dashed lines indicate lung metastases. n = 5 biologically independent samples. ( H ) H&E-stained sections of the lungs of each treatment group after the end of treatment. ( I ) Statistics of the number of lung metastatic nodules in each treatment group after the end of treatment. ( J ) Weight of lung metastatic nodules in each treatment group after the end of treatment. ( K ) Representative flow cytometry analysis plots of CD8 + T cells and CD4 + T cells in the spleens of mice after receiving LNP@PRO P , LNP@PRO B , and LNP@PRO P+B treatments. ( L ) Quantitative analysis of the T EM cells and T CM cells in CD8 + T cells after the above treatments ( n = 5). ( M ) Representative flow cytometry analysis plots of T EM cells and T CM cells in CD8 + T cells after the above treatments. ( N ) Quantitative analysis of the T EM cells and T CM cells in CD4 + T cells after the above treatments ( n = 5). ( O ) Representative flow cytometry analysis plots of T EM and T CM cells in CD4 + T cells after the above treatments. Results are presented as the means ± SD.
Article Snippet: For the depletion of CD8 + T cells and NK1.1 cells in vivo, anti-CD8a antibodies (aCD8, 300 μg per mouse, BioXcell, catalog number BE0061, clone number 2.43) and anti-NK1.1 antibodies (aNK1.1, 300 μg per mouse, BioXcell, catalog number BE0036, clone number PK136) were intraperitoneally injected.
