doi: 10.1038/s41541-023-00706-x

Figure Lengend Snippet: Ad-CAIX and Ad- PD-L1 vaccines were prepared and expressed in vitro. Three tumor models, including the subcutaneous, lung metastasis, and orthotropic tumor, were established, and intramuscular Ad vaccine immunization was performed. Ad-CAIX/Ad-PD-L1 could effectively enhance the induction and maturation of DCs and DC subsets, and promote strong tumor-specific CD8 + T cell immune responses. Ad-CAIX/Ad-PD-L1 vaccine could significantly inhibit tumor growth or lung metastasis in three models via DCs-mediated CD8 + T cell anti-tumor responses.

doi: 10.1172/jci67382

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4 Tem1-TT vaccination inhibits CT26 tumor vascularization. (A) Tem1-TT vaccination reduced tumor hemoglobin content. Tumors at approximately 200 mm3 were excised from TT- or Tem1-TT–vaccinated mice and inspected grossly. Tumors from Tem1-TT–vaccinated mice appeared pale relative to control tumors. Reduced hemoglobin levels in tumors from Tem1-TT–vaccinated mice were observed by ELISA. (B) Tem1-TT vaccine reduces tumor vascularity. Tumors from TT- or Tem1-TT–vaccinated mice were analyzed by Doppler ultrasound. Perfused tumor area and real blood flux are shown, measured and calculated by Doppler image analysis. (C) CT26 tumors from Tem1-TT–immunized mice had significantly decreased CD31 expression compared with TT vaccination. Also note the abnormal blood vessel shape. Original magnification, ×20. (D) CAIX expression was increased in tumors from Tem1-TT–immunized animals. CAIX expression was visualized by immunohistochemistry, and Caix was independently quantified by qRT-PCR in tumors from mice vaccinated with either TT or Tem1-TT. Original magnification, ×20. Data in A–D are mean ± SD of a representative experiment (n = 5 per group). Statistical analyses were performed with Student’s t test.
