Figure 7. Lung metastasis is impaired by CD11c-restricted IL15 overexpression independently of trans-presentation.

Figure 7

Recipient mice of the genotype indicated were injected i.v. with 2 × 10e5 B16 melanoma cells. Macroscopic lung metastases (A) were counted (B). Lung cells were isolated and analysed by flow cytometry for frequencies of (D) NK cells, (E) KLRG1+ NK cells, (G) total CD8+ T cells and (H) KLRG1+ CD8+ T cells. Frequency in healthy lungs of total (C) NK cells and (F) CD8+ T cells are also shown. Statistics: ***p<=0.001; **p<=0.01; *p<=0.05; ns = non significant.
