Figure Lengend Snippet: a C57BL/6 and Prdm1 fl/fl CD19cre mice were implanted with MC38 and given drinking water containing 0%, 0.4%, or 0.8% VPA from day 0. b Tumor weights. c Frequency and number of plasma cells in draining LNs of VPA-treated mice on day 27 post-MC38 inoculation. d Proportion and number of GCB in draining LNs on DPI 18, N = 13, no VPA; N = 11, 0.8% VPA. e Number of activated CD80 + MHC-II + B cells ( N = 10) and CD86 + MHC-II+ ( N = 13, no VPA; N = 11, 0.8% VPA) B cells in draining LNs on DPI 18. f On DPI 18, frequency of tumor-infiltrating CD80 + MHC-II + B cells, N = 13, no VPA; N = 11, 0.8% VPA, and CD80 expression on CD19 + MHC-II + TIL-B cells, N = 11/group. g Proportion of CD86 + MHC-II + B cells and CD86 level on CD19 + MHC-II + B cells within tumors. h Representative flow plots and frequency of CD9 + CD148 + TIL-B cells on DPI 18, N = 10. i Number and proportion of CD9 + CD148 + B cells in draining LNs on DPI 18, N = 5, no VPA; N = 7, 0.8% VPA. j Percentage of Treg cells within tumors on DPI 18. k Proportion of tumor-effector CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells and NK cells on DPI 18, N = 14, no VPA; N = 12, 0.8% VPA. l Representative flow cytometry plots and frequency of tumor-infiltrating CD11b + F4/80+ macrophages on DPI 18, N = 11, no VPA; N = 9, 0.8% VPA. m Ratio of CD86 + M1 macrophages and CD206 + M2 macrophages in tumor on DPI 18, N = 16, no VPA; N = 14, 0.8% VPA. n , o Analysis of tumor growth in C57BL/6, Jh −/− JCk −/ − mice, or Rag1 − /− mice implanted with MC38 ( n ) or B16F10 ( o ) tumor cells and given 0% or 0.8% VPA from day 0. p Spontaneous tumor growth in MMTV-PyMT mice treated with VPA. Water containing 0% or 0.8% VPA was provided starting at age of 6 weeks until experimental endpoints. Data were from 2 independent experiments ( n , o ). Flow cytometry data were from 2 to 3 independent experiments, and each dot in graphs ( b – m ) represents an individual mouse. Bars show mean ± SEM. P values were calculated with the two-tailed unpaired t -test (b– m ), two-tailed unpaired multiple t -tests with Holm–Sidak’s correction ( a , n – p ), p values shown, n.s. denotes P > 0.05.
Article Snippet: All samples were acquired on BD LSR2 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), or Aurora spectral flow cytometry (Cytek Biosciences) and data were analyzed using Flowjo software (v10).
