Flow cytometric analysis of splenic immune cell subsets or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in MC38-CEA tumors. Cabozantinib and vaccine were administered 14 days post tumor implantation. Tumors were 28 days post tumor implantation. Sunitinib was administered 7 days post tumor vaccination and in this case vaccine was administered 14 days post tumor implantation. Tumors were 21 days post tumor implantation. Splenic studies, n = 5 mice/group. Intratumoral studies, cabozantinib, n = 2 mice/group; sunitinib, n = 12-17 mice/group.
