Figure 2. Transcript-Level Evaluation of the Immune Components of the Post-Castration Tumor Microenvironment (TME).
Bulk tumor samples from animals treated as in Figure 1 analyzed by qPCR using indicated probe sets. Fold change calculated by ΔΔCt, normalized to Pre-C. Reactions performed in triplicate, repeated × 2.
(A) Transcripts associated with immune cell subsets
(B) Cytokines
(C) Immunologically relevant transcription factors
(D) Immune checkpoints and ligands
Data are mean ± SEM. P-values determined by unpaired t test, *, P <0.05; **, P <0.01; NS, not statistically significant.
