Increased activation in multiple immune cell types and decreased immune suppression after the iPSC vaccine in mice
(A and B) Spanning-tree progression analysis of density-normalized events analysis of live CD45+ cells in TDLNs from mice treated with PBS and the C + I vaccine with the fold-change intensity of IFN-γ+ and IL-2+ cells indicated as the color. Frequencies of IFN-γ+ and IL-2+CD45+ cells of total live CD45+ cells (n = 3, means ± SEM, ∗p < 0.05 compared with PBS, Student's t test).
(C) Percentage of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg cells among CD4+ T cells in TDLNs and spleen from mice treated with PBS, CpG, iPSCs, or the C + I vaccine.
(D) Percentage of IL-17+CD4+ T cells among CD4+ T cells in TDLNs (right) from mice treated with PBS, CpG, iPSCs, or the C + I vaccine (n = 3–4, mean ± SEM, ∗p < 0.05 compared with PBS, Tukey's multiple comparison test).
