Figure Lengend Snippet: In vivo treatment schedule and therapeutic outcomes. (A) Experimental timeline for control, radiotherapy (IR), anti-PD-L1 (ICI), and combination groups. (B) Positioning of tumor-bearing mice for 6 MV x-ray irradiation. (C) Representative image of tumor harvesting on day 7. (D) Tumor-growth curves (mean ± SD; n = 4 per group); statistical methods: one-way ANOVA. ∗, ∗∗, ∗∗∗, or ∗∗∗∗ represent p-values <0.05, < 0.01, < 0.001, and <0.0001, respectively. X-axis: Number of days, corresponding to the treatment timeline, with the first day being the first day of treatment. Y-axis: Tumor volume growth, measured as the difference between the tumor volume on the day of measurement and the tumor volume before treatment (first day). (E) Body-weight changes over the study period (mean ± SD; n = 4 per group); statistical methods: one-way ANOVA. X-axis: Number of days. Y-axis: Mouse weight, measured as mouse weight on the day of measurement.
