(j) Quantification of frequency of Granzyme B + CD8 + T cells from the blood of chimeras in (i) day 14 post B16 tumor implantation, pregated on CD8β + Vex + cells. . Representative of two independent experiments, n = 5 mice. Bar graphs represent mean and error bars represent standard deviation (except for b, h, i where error bars represent standard error). Statistical significance was assessed by two-way ANOVA (b-d, h-i), or two-sided Student’s unpaired t-test (e-g, j) (ns p>.05, * p≤.05, ** p≤.01, *** p≤.001, **** p≤.0001). See also .

Article Snippet: To deplete CD8 + T cells, mice were injected i.p. with 100 μg αCD8β (53–5.8 BioXCell Cat# BE0223) or isotype (HRPN BioXCell Cat# BE0088) on days −3, 0, 3, 6, 9 and 200 μg αCD8α (2.43 BioXCell Cat# BE0061) or isotype (LTF-2 BioXCell Cat# BE0090) on days 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 (relative to MC38 tumor injection on day 0).
