AdIL-17A transduction in 4T1 tumor induces potent immune suppression due to the changes in the quantity of suppressive myeloid cells. Splenic T cells were isolated from the spleen of DO11.10 mouse, labelled with proliferation dye eFluor 670, and co-cultured with bulk peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) as the course of MDSCs from naïve mice or Ad-transduced tumor-bearing mice or sort-purified myeloid subpopulations. OVA-specific CD4 T cell proliferation in response to OVA peptide stimulation under different culture conditions was measured by flow cytometry based on eFluor 670 dilution. (A) Representative histograms of the CD4+ T cell proliferation in the presence of PBL recovered from 40 µL of peripheral blood; no peptide stimulation is shown in grey. (B) CD4 T cell proliferation in the presence of PBL recovered from 40, 20, and 10 µL of blood collected 14 days after the inoculation of AdIL-17A- or Addl-transduced 4T1 tumor cells (n = 6 per group). (C) CD4 T cell proliferation in the presence of graded doses of sort-purified granulocytic cells (CD11b+Ly6CintLy6Ghi) or monocytic cells (CD11b+Ly6ChiLy6Glo) isolated at day 14 from the spleens of mice inoculated with AdIL-17A- or Addl-transduced tumor cells. *P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001 compared to Addl using unpaired Student’s t-test.
