The oHSV2 increased the antitumor immunity in vivo.
Notes: (A) shows the flow cytometry analysis of one representative sample from each treatment group. (B) The image shows the percentage of MDSC and Tregs. Statistical significance was determined using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (with Tukey’s posttest) (**P<0.01). Error bars represent standard error of the mean. BALB/c mice (N=3 per group) were treated with oHSV2, 5-FU, and PBS. Ten days after first therapy, TDLN and tumor were harvested from the mice. (C) shows the flow cytometry analysis of one representative sample from each treatment group. (D) The image shows the percentage of DCs in TDLN, CD4+T, and CD8+T in tumor. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA (with Tukey’s posttest) (*P<0.05, **P<0.01). Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
Abbreviations: MDSC, myeloid-derived suppressor cells; Tregs, T regulatory cells; oHSV2, oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 2; 5-FU, 5-fluorouracil; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; TDLN, tumor-draining lymph nodes; DC, dendritic cell.
