LAPHi myeloid cells dampen tumor-specific immunity in vivo
(A) CT26 CRC tumor volume over time in WT mice treated with either anti-LAP or isotype control (IC) antibodies (n = 11).
(B) Effect of anti-LAP antibody treatment on myeloid cells (CT26 model). Mice were treated with anti-LAP or IC antibodies and frequencies of cells in the spleen measured by flow cytometry.
(C) MC38 CRC tumor volume over time in WT mice treated with either anti-LAP or IC antibodies (n = 5).
(D) Effect of anti-LAP antibody treatment on myeloid cells (MC38 model). Mice were treated with anti-LAP or IC antibodies and frequencies of cells in the spleen measured by flow cytometry.
(E) MC38 tumor volumes over time in WT mice adoptively transferred with LAPHi and LAPLo MCs (n = 5).
(F) Foxp3+ Tregs measured in the spleen of mice transferred with LAPLo or LAPHi MCs. Representative FACS plots (right panel) and quantification (left panel) are shown (n = 4).
(G) CD103+Foxp3+ Tregs measured in the spleen of mice adoptively transferred with LAPHi or LAPLo MCs. Representative FACS plots (right panel) and quantification (left panel) are presented (n = 4).
(H) LAP+ CD4 Tregs measured in the spleen of mice adoptively transferred with LAPHi or LAPLo MCs. Representative FACS plots (right panel) and quantification (left panel) are shown (n = 4). Data shown as mean ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA (A, C, and E) and two-tailed t test (B, D, and F–H) were used for p value calculations. ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001. See also Figure S2.
