Tu = tumor cells (gated from CD45−CD11b−), Mono = monocytes (gated from CD45+CD11B+CD14+CD16+ (d) or CD45+CD11b+Ly6G−(e,f), MDM = monocyte-derived macrophages (gated from CD45+CD11B+CD14+CD16−CD49D+ (d) or CD45+CD11b+Ly6G−Ly6C−CD49d+ (e,f)), MG = microglia (gated from CD45+CD11B+CD14+CD16−CD49D− (d) or CD45+CD11b+Ly6G−Ly6C−CD49d− (e,f)), Neu = neutrophils (gated from CD45+CD11B+CD66B+ (d) or CD45+CD11b+Ly6G+Ly6Cint (e,f). d, n = 5 patients. e, n = 6 mice. f, n = 2 mice). g, Flow cytometry plots of CD4+ (gated CD45+CD11b−CD3+CD4+) and CD8+ T cell (gated CD45+CD11b−CD3+CD8+) FACS-isolation strategy of d12 RT, RT + Conc.IT and RT + Adj.IT PDG-Ink4a tumors. Sorted cells gated in red. Representative of n = 3 independent repeats. h-k, Normalized expression of indicated genes in CD8+ T cells (gated from CD45+CD11b−CD3+) FACS-purified from PDG-Ink4a tumors 12d post treatment initiation and subjected to RNA sequencing. l, Enriched pathways specific to RT + Adj.IT CD8+ T cells. (Supplementary Table S5). For h-l, RT n = 3, RT + Conc.IT n = 3 and RT + Adj.IT n = 3 mice. Statistics: one-way ANOVA with Benjamini, Krieger and Yekutieli correction for multiple testing (c,h-k) and Fisher’s exact test in combination with the Benjamini-Hochberg method for correction of multiple hypotheses testing (l). Data are represented as mean - S.E.M. (b), ± S.E.M. (c-f) or + S.E.M. (h-k).
