Figure Lengend Snippet: In vivo DC maturation and T cell activation in C57BL/6J mice induced by mOVA/H 18 NPs through intravenous injection. C57BL/6J mice were vaccinated with different formulations on Day 0 and Day 5. On Day 10, the spleens of mice were collected and analyzed by flow cytometry. Quantification analysis of (A) CD80 + CD86 + DCs and (B) CD40 + DCs in the spleen. Quantification analysis of (C) CD3 + CD4 + T cells and (D) CD3 + CD8 + T cells in the spleen. (E) Quantification analysis and (F) representative flow cytometry contour plots of OVA-specific CD8 + T cells among all cell populations in the spleen. (G) Quantification analysis and (H) representative flow cytometry contour plots of IFN-γ + CD8 + T cells among all cell populations in the spleen. (I) Quantification results and (J) representative images of IFN- γ -secreting immune cells in the spleen of mice analyzed by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assay. Data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 3).
