Therapeutic vaccination with inactivated CD47−/− cells. (a) The study regime: 10 mice per group were implanted subcutaneously with B16F10 cells and treated with PBS, irradiated B16F10, or irradiated CD47−/− 3BD9 cells 2 days later. Tumors and lymph nodes were collected and immunophenotyping was performed to analyze various lymphocyte populations. (b) Survival of mice after therapeutic vaccination. p = 0.02 by Mantel-Cox test. (c) Tumor growth in mice from the three therapeutic vaccination regimes. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by unpaired t test. (d) Regulatory T cells (T-regs), proliferating (Ki67+) T cells, and NK cells in the tumor microenvironment, and (e) Macrophage (M1- and M2-type) and dendritic cell subsets in the tumor-draining lymph nodes of mice in the PBS, 3BD9, and B16F10 therapeutic vaccinated groups. In all cohorts n = 10. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by unpaired t test performed on GraphPad Prism. Flow cytometric analysis was performed on FlowJo and cell phenotypes are presented as a percentage of the parent cell population.
