Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of nano-vaccine combined with ICB therapy on BC mice. Note: (A) Immunostaining images of tumor tissues for IFN-γ and PD-1 post-nano-vaccine treatment, bar = 100μm; (B) Schematic diagram of the combined treatment process; (C) Tumor growth curves for the BC mouse groups; (D) Display of tumor volume and mass on day 28 post-treatment in each BC mouse group; (E) Survival curves for the BC mouse groups; (F) Flow cytometer analysis showing the proportion of INFγ + CD8 + T cells, TNF-α + CD8 + T cells, and GzmB + CD8 + T cells in tumor tissues of BC mice across different groups; (G-I) Tumor sections stained with H&E, Ki67, and TUNEL (G), statistical graph of Ki67 positive cells (H), and statistical graph of TUNEL positive cells (I), bar = 50 μm. Each group in animal experiments consisted of six mice, and values are presented as mean ± SD. 'ns' indicates no significant difference between groups, * p < 0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The cells or tissues were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies F4/80 (Abcam, ab100790, 1:200), CD8 (MA5-29682, 1:100, Thermo Fisher, USA), IFN-γ (14-7313-81, 1:200, Thermo Fisher, USA), and PD-1 (Abcam, ab214421, 1:200).
