T cell subsets were depleted by intraperitoneally administering 400 μg of depleting antibody twice before prophylactic administration of MC38 TEVs and CT26 tumor challenge. CD4 T cells were depleted with
anti-CD4 mAb (Clone GK1.5, Bio X Cell). CD8 T cells were depleted with
anti-CD8α (Clone 2.43, Bio X Cell). CD4 and CD8 T cell depletion were confirmed using flow cytometry on the
BD FACS CantoII (BD Biosciences) from the mouse spleen, lymph node, and peripheral blood. Antibodies for flow cytometry were
CD3-APC (1:200, BioLegend, cat. no. 100236),
CD8-APC-Cy7 (1:100, BioLegend, cat. no. 100714),
CD4-BV510 (1:100, BioLegend, cat. no. 100449),
CD11b-FITC (1:100, BioLegend, cat. no. 101206),
CD19-FITC (1:100, BioLegend, cat. no. 115506),
Nk1.1-FITC (1:100, BioLegend, cat. no. 108706), and
CD45-PE (1:200, BioLegend, cat. no.103106).
