Phenotypic and functional characterization of tumor-bearing vaccinated
mice: (A) Flow cytometry multivariate plots.
(B–I) Subset
quantification in LNs (duplicate mice; mean ± range): (B)
IL-17+ CD4 T cells; (C) CD69+ CD4 T cells; (D)
IL-17+ CD8 T cells; (E) CD69+ CD8 T cells; (F)
IL-12+ MHChi cells; (G)
IFN-γ+ IL-17− CD8 T cells; (H)
Gr1+ CD11c+ cells. Control: mice are
vaccinated, DMBA treated, but not TPA treated. Carcinogenesis: mice are
vaccinated, DMBA and TPA treated for 20 wk. (I) Gr-1hi,
CD11b+ cells. Fold change from control (dotted line).
Student t test: *p <
0.05, **p < 0.01. (J
and K) In vivo CTL activity detected in immunized control
and tumor-bearing mice. (J). Histogram display of CFSElo and
CFSEhi target cells in the spleen, 1 d after target cell
transfer. Gated CFSE-labeled target cells: CFSElo control
(white) and the % of CFSEhi peptide–pulsed population
(black) per sample (n = 3). (K) The % of
Mut-H-ras–specific cytotoxicity for each group (mean ±
SEM).
