Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. Anti-MICA/B 7C6 mAb boosts anti-tumor cytotoxic function of peripheral NK cells from iCCA patients against the HuCCT-1 cell line. A): peripheral NK cell degranulation, evaluated as frequency of CD107a+ NK cells, in iCCA patients (n = 13) and HC (n = 16) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. Parametric paired and unpaired t tests were used to compare data. B): dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ CD107a+ NK cells in a HC and a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. C): the proportion of circulating IFNγ+ NK cells in patients (n = 10) and HC (n = 11) in the presence of 7C6 mAb compared with IgG1-Fc. To compare paired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon t test were used. To compare unpaired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test were used. D): representative dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ IFNγ+ NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc.

Article Snippet: The recombinant human IgG1 Fc (BioXcell, Lebanon, NH, USA) and the humanized anti-MICA/B 7C6-IgG1 mAb were added at a final concentration of 10 μg/ml.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Anti-MICA/B 7C6 mAb boosts anti-tumor cytotoxic function of peripheral NK cells from iCCA patients against patient-derived iCCA cell lines. A): peripheral NK cell degranulation, evaluated as CD107a+NK frequency, in iCCA patients (n = 12) and HC (n = 8) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc using patient- derived primary tumor cell lines as targets. Parametric paired and unpaired t tests were used to compare data. B): dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56 + CD107a+ NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. C): proportion of circulating IFNγ+NK cells in patients (n = 10) and in HC (n = 8) in the presence of 7C6 mAb compared with IgG1-Fc. To compare paired data, we used the parametric t test and the non-parametric Wilcoxon t test. To compare unpaired data, the parametric t test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test were used. D): representative dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ IFNγ +NK cells in a HC and in a patient (iCCA) in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. 7C6 mAb enhances the anti-tumor effect of liver- and tumor-infiltrating NK cells in iCCA patients. A): Frequency of degranulating CD107a+NK cells in LIL (n = 13) and TIL (n = 10) of iCCA patients in the presence of anti-MICA/B 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc using autologous tumor-derived cell lines as targets. Parametric paired and unpaired t tests were used to compare data. B): representative dot plots showing the frequency of CD3-CD56+ CD107a+ LIL- and TIL-NK cells in the presence of 7C6 mAb or IgG1-Fc. C): proportion of IFNγ+ NK cells in LIL (n = 10) and TIL (n = 8) of iCCA patients in the presence of 7C6 mAb compared with IgG1-Fc using autologous tumor-derived cell lines as targets. The parametric t test and non-parametric Wilcoxon t test were used to compare paired data. The parametric t test was used to compare unpaired data.

A, B): Frequency of CFSE+LIVE/DEAD (LD)+ HuCCT-1 cell line targets when HC PBMC (n = 5), patient PBMC (n = 10), LIL (n = 8) and TIL (n = 5) were used as effector cells in the presence of 7C6 mAb and isotype control (IgG1). The parametric paired t tests were used to compare data. C, D): Frequency of CFSE+LD+ patient-derived cell line targets when HC PBMC (n = 5), patient PBMC (n = 8), LIL (n = 8) and TIL (n = 4) were used as effectors in the presence of 7C6 and isotype control. The parametric paired t test was used to compare data in panel C. The non-parametric Wilcoxon t test was used to compare paired data in panel D. Target cell death was determined as frequency of CFSE+LD+ cells.
