Spleens and lymph nodes were harvested from OT-1/Rag−/− mice. Antigen-specific CD8+ OT-1 T-cells were isolated by positive selection (CD8a MicroBeads, Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn CA) and labeled with CFSE per manufacturer protocol (CellTrace™ CFSE kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA). CFSE-labeled CD8+ OT-1 cells were re-suspended in 200uL PBS and transferred by retro-orbital injection (2×106 cells) on day 13 (48 hours after stereotactic RT) into congenic B6-Ly5.1/CD45.1 recipient tumor-bearing mice that had been implanted with 1.5×106 MC38-OVA cells on day 0. On day 16 (120 hours after RT, 72 hours after adoptive transfer), tumor and DLN were harvested and immune cells were isolated as above and stimulated with 2μM H-2Kb–restricted class I epitope SIINFEKL OVA257–264 (AnaSpec, Fremont CA) in the presence of GolgiStop™ and GolgiPlug™ protein transport inhibitors (BD Biosciences, San Jose CA) for intracellular cytokine staining and then analyzed by flow cytometry. As a positive control, mice were vaccinated with an attenuated Listeria monocytogenes vector engineered to express OVA (LM-OVA), (Aduro Biotech, Berkeley CA) [25 (link)]. LM-OVA was diluted in PBS to 1×107 cfu per dose (0.1 LD50), and administered by i.p. injection [21 (link)].

HESC cells decidualized and non-decidualized were grown to confluence in 24 wells plate (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria).The inhibitor STF-083010 was added for 4 h prior to the invasion assay. Swan-71 spheroids were morphologically selected, stained with CFSE (CellTrace CFSE Kit, ThermoFisher Scientific, MA, USA) according providers instructions and ten spheroids per well were transferred using a transfer pipette and a dissecting microscope. The co-culture was maintained with DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS without differentiation stimuli nor STF-083010. All co-cultures were monitored using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus Lifesciences, USA) and microphotographs were taken at 48 h, as we previously determined to be the optimal invasion time18 . Invasion index was analyzed as morphological change and calculated as “1-minor_axis/mayor_axis” of an ellipse surrounding the BLS as previously reported using ImageJ software (NIH, USA)18 . For each assay, the average of the invasion index of all the BLS on each well was considered as one single sample and used for the statistical analysis.
