Intratumorally administrated DTA-1 Ab transferred into tumor draining lymph node. (a) Peritumoral injection of DTA-1 Ab. Fifty μg of DTA-1 Ab was injected directly into tumor (IT) or injected into subcutaneous space around the tumor (PT) (n = 8). Tumor volumes were measured at the indicated days. P value for DTA-1 IP vs PT, as analysed by t-test. (b) Immunohistochemical staining of tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) for Rat IgG (DTA-1). DTA-1 Ab was intratumorally injected, and TDLNs were harvested 4 and 24 hours after Ab injection. (c) Detection of DTA-1 Ab in TDLNs. The transfer of DTA-1 Ab into TDLNs was compared between intraperitoneal injection (IP) and intratumoral injection (IT). Immunohistochemical staining of TDLNs was performed sequentially 1, 3 and 5 days after DTA-1 Ab injection. (d) Immunohistological score of DTA-1 Ab in TDLNs. Immunohistochemical scoring criteria are defined in Materials and Methods. Crossbar means the average. P value for DTA-1 IP vs IT on day 5, as analysed by t-test.
