Detection of degranulating cytotoxic T lymphocytes at the site of tumour treatment with PDT, γ-inulin, or their combination. Subcutaneous MCA205 tumours were treated with ce6-PDT and/or γ-inulin as described for Figure 3. At 3 days after therapy, tumours or remnants collected at the treatment site were taken for preparing single-cell suspensions that were stained with antibodies against CD107a, CD8, and CD45 antigens and analysed by flow cytometry. (A) Representative example of staining of a PDT+γ-inulin sample showing FITC fluorescence intensity in a.u. per cell (CD107a and its isotype control) of the gated population staining positively for PerCP-Cy5.5 (CD45) and PE (CD8) and (B) percentage of CD107a-positive cytotoxic T lymphocytes in total cellular populations detected in different treatment groups. N=4; bars are s.d. *Statistically significant difference compared to untreated tumours group; **statistically significant difference compared to γ-inulin only and PDT only groups.
