Female 6 week old BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice were inoculated s.c. in the flank on day ~−7 with 5×105 CT26 colon carcinoma or 1×106 B16F10 melanoma cells, respectively. Intra-tumoral (i.t.) injections of mouse CD80-Fc (20μg/50μl/mouse, R&D Systems), rat IgG2a clone 2A3 (20μg/50μl/mouse, BioXCell), or CpG ODN 1555 (100μg/50μl/mouse) were started on day 0 when tumors were approximately 5mm in diameter and administered twice a week for three weeks (7 (link)). For some experiments mice were inoculated on ~day −7 with B16F10 cells on both flanks and tumors on only one flank were treated. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of mouse CD80-Fc (200ug/mouse, R&D Systems), rat IgG2a clone 2A3 (200ug/mouse BioXCell), or anti-mouse PDL1 clone 10F.9G2 (200ug/mouse BioXCell) were administered on days 3, 6, 9, and 22 following tumor inoculation. Mice were sacrificed when they became moribund and their tumors were cryopreserved and analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Tumors were measured every 2–3 days in two perpendicular diameters. Tumor volume = 4/3πr3 where r = (diameter 1 + diameter 2)/4.
