(a) Wild-type (WT) or Faslpr mice bearing 10-day stablished B16 subcutaneous tumors have been treated with 105 IL-12 ngineered CD8+ T cells following sublethal irradiation. Seven days following therapy, tumors were harvested and examined by flow cytometry for infiltration of adoptively transferred CD8+ thy1.1+ T cells. Representative flow cytometry plots inside the left panel are gated on live PI-, CD8+ T cells together with the quantification of data in the suitable panel. All information are expressed as a mean ?SEM and representative of two independent experiments. *P 0.05 compared with remedy in WT mice. (b) Tumors and spleens from mice treated similarly as a were harvested and examined for the presence of CD11b+ myeloid-derived cells and CD3+ lymphocytes. The left panel represents flow cytometry plots for CD11b+ cells in B16 tumors along with the correct panel is really a representative plot for CD11b+ and CD3+ cells inside spleens. All plots gated on reside PI- cells and are representative of two independent experiments. (c) Quantification with the percentage of CD11b+ and CD3+ cells from b.

Strikingly, we observed minimal + infiltration of adoptively transferred IL-12 xpressing thy1.1 + pmel-1 CD8 T cells in mice deficient in Fas-receptor signaling (Figure 5a; left panel). These results have been in stark contrast towards the substantial infiltration of transferred T cells observed in WT mice. Quantification through flow cytometry ased assays showed a stat.
