Evaluation of immune effects of EPM

(A and B) The proportion of CD80 and CD86 double-positive cells in CD11c⁺ DCs was detected by flow cytometry. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. ∗ ∗ ∗p < 0.001.

(C) Assessment of EPM uptake by macrophages. Flow cytometry was used to quantify by CD80⁺CD86⁺ DCs EPM uptake at 0.5 h, 1.0 h, and 3 h. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. ∗ ∗ ∗p < 0.001.

(D and E) Flow cytometry was used to detect CD3⁺CD8⁺ T cell infiltration in tumor tissues (n = 5 per group). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
