To detect the in vivo immune response, 4T1 xenotransplant tumors were divided into eight groups and received treatments identical to in vivo therapeutic evaluation. On the 9th day, both primary tumors and distant metastases were harvested for single-cell suspensions fabrication. The prepared cells were further stained with
CD11c-FITC (eBioscience, Catalog: N418),
CD86-PE (eBioscience, Catalog: GL1),
CD80-APC (eBioscience, Catalog: 16-10A1),
F4/80-APC (Biolegend, Catalog: BM8),
CD11b-PE (Biolegend, Catalog: M1/70),
CD80-FITC (Biolegend, Catalog: 16-10A1),
CD206-FITC (Biolegend, Catalog: C068C2),
CD3-FITC (Biolegend, Catalog:17A2),
CD8a-APC (Biolegend, Catalog: QA17A07) and
CD4-PC5.5 (Biolegend, Catalog: RM4-5) antibody and then analyzed by flow cytometry. Serum was collected from different groups of mice, and cytokines including IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IL-10 were analyzed using ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's protocols. In addition, immunofluorescence staining was further conducted to investigate the infiltrating immune cells in tumor tissues.
