Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunological assessments of the combination of T-mfIL12 and immature BMDCs (A) Immunohistochemical analysis of representative MB49 tumors from the indicated treatment groups. Increased intratumoral infiltration of CD8 + lymphocytes was most prominent in the T-mfIL12+BMDC group, followed by the T-01+BMDC group. In both groups, elevated levels of CD4 + lymphocyte infiltration were also observed in the same tumor sections. Other groups, except for the mock group, showed moderate levels of CD4 + infiltration. Scale bars: 100 μm. (B) ELISpot assay for IFN-γ expression revealed the highest number of IFN-γ-producing splenocytes in the T-mfIL12+BMDC group, followed by the T-01+BMDC group. Monotherapies with BMDC, T-01, or T-mfIL12, as well as the mock group, did not result in significant increases. n = 3 per group; all samples were analyzed in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunological assessments of the combination of T-mfIL12 and immature iPSDCs (A) Immunohistochemical analysis of representative MB49 tumors from the indicated treatment groups. Increased intratumoral infiltration of CD8 + lymphocytes was observed in both the T-mfIL12+BMDC and T-mfIL12+iPSDC groups. In both groups, CD4 + lymphocyte infiltration was also more prominently observed in the same tumor sections. Other treatment groups, excluding the mock group, exhibited moderate levels of CD4 + T cell infiltration. Scale bars: 100 μm. (B) ELISpot assay showed a high and comparable increase in IFN-γ-producing splenocytes in both the T-mfIL12+BMDC and T-mfIL12+iPSDC groups. n = 3 mice per group; all samples were analyzed in triplicate. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD). ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001; NS, not significant.
