Chemotherapy and ICB were administered on the same day, initiating treatment when tumors were approximately 20-25 mm2 in size. Chemotherapies were provided by Sir Charles Gardiner Pharmacy (Nedlands, WA, Australia) and was administered at the predetermined MTD as previously reported (16 (link)), except 5-FU which was administered at 75 mg/kg because MTD 5-FU with ICB caused severe toxicity (Table S1). Anti-CTLA-4 (clone 9H10, JJP Biologics) was dosed once at 100 μg/mouse and anti‐PD‐L1 (clone MIH5, JJP Biologics) was dosed 3 times with 2-day intervals at 100 μg/mouse (17 (link)). For depletion experiments, anti-CD4 (clone GK1.5, BioXcell), anti-CD8 (clone YTS 169, BioXcell) or anti-IL1β (clone B122, BioXcell) antibodies were administered 3 times with 3-day intervals at 100 μg/mouse with the first dose commencing 3 days before chemo‐immunotherapy. Anti-TNFα (clone XT3.11, BioXcell) was administered using the above schedule but at 2 mg/mouse. All treatments were diluted in sterile 0.9 % sodium chloride and administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) or intravenously (i.v.) as described in Table S1.
