Effect of immunotherapy treatment on cytokine and chemokine secretion from tumor explants. (A) Outline of treatment method using intact tumor explants treated ex-vivo with candidate immunotherapies. (B) Cytokine and chemokine secretion detected by multiplex assay was evaluated by principal component analysis to identify potential distinguishing features. Colors show explants from a specific tumor type. Shapes show different treatments. (C) The response of individual SCC-VII tumor explants to treatment with anti-PD1 or anti-OX40 showing secretion of i) IFNg, ii) IL-17A, iii) IL-4. Graphs show mean and SD expression across replicate explants from individual tumors. Key: NS, not significant. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
