Table 1. Flow cytometric analysis of ovalbumin expression and immune cell infiltration in EL-4, progressive E.G7-OVA and regressive E.G7-OVA tumours.
Tumour type |
|||
---|---|---|---|
Antigen | EL-4 | E.G7-OVA (regressive) | E.G7-OVA (progressive) |
Ovalbumin | 3.4±0.2 | 1608±480a | 309±66 |
CD8 | 150±23 | 272±27a | 174±19 |
CD68 | 64±17 | 177±35b | 99±29 |
At 13 days after implantation, single-cell suspensions were prepared by disaggregating solid tumour material. These cell suspensions were then incubated with the relevant primary antibody and fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibody, as described in the Materials and Methods section. Three tumours were used in each group and the numbers represent the mean±s.e.m. of the fluorescence intensities in arbitrary units.
Statistically significantly different from EL-4 and progressive E.G7-OVA tumours, P<0.01;
statistically significantly different from EL-4 tumours, P<0.01.
