Single cell suspensions were prepared from freshly isolated CT26-HER2 tumors and spleens at sacrifice. The tumor specimens were minced and digested with collagenase (1 mg/mL) for 1 h at 37 °C. The resulting cell suspensions were passed through 70 μm cell strainer and rinsed with flow cytometry buffer (PBS+2% FBS). Spleens were processed directly by means of the cell strainer, and the red blood cells in splenic specimens were lysed by means of ACK buffer (150 mM NH
4Cl, 10 mM NaHCO
3, 1 mM EDTA), samples were pelleted and resuspended in flow cytometry buffer. For each sample, 2 × 10
6 cells were blocked with α-CD16/32 Ab (clone 93, eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and then reacted with the antibodies
CD4-FITC (clone GK1.5, eBioscience),
CD8a-PE (clone 53–6.7, eBioscience),
CD45-FITC (clone 30-F11, eBioscience),
CD45-Percp-Cy7 (clone 30-F11, eBioscience),
FoxP3-PE (clone 150d/e4, eBioscience),
CD11b-FITC (clone M1/70, eBioscience),
PD-L1-APC (clone MIH5, BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), and HER2-APC (clone 9G1D4B10, Sinobiological, Beijing, China). The data were acquired by means of
BD C6 Accuri. Only the samples that provided at least 1 × 10
5 events were included in subsequent analysis.
