Role of CD8 T cells and type-I IFN in CY-driven anti-tumor efficacy.
<p>(A) Anti-tumor responses depend on CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with CY at day 10 after tumor inoculation (day 0) and anti-CD8 mAbs (150 µg) were injected at days −1, 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 with respect to CY treatment. Data shown are mean±SEM (<i>n</i> = 5) from one representative experiment from a total of three experiments with a total of 15 mice. * P<0.05 when CY is compared with CY + anti-CD8. (B) <i>In vivo</i> IFN-α/β neutralization marginally affects tumor growth in CY-treated mice. BALB/c mice bearing AB1-HA tumors were given IFN-α/β blocking antibody on days −1, +2, +4 with respect to CY treatment. Tumors were inoculated at day 0 and were treated with CY at day 9. Data shown are mean±SEM (<i>n</i> = 5) from one experiment. <i>ns</i> = not-significant.</p

(C) Tumor growth and Kaplan-Meier survival curves after CY treatment in perforin/IFN-γ double-deficient mice, compared to immunocompetent mice. Data shown are mean±SEM (<i>n</i> = 5) from one experiment (growth curve, left panel) or total data from two experiments (survival curve, right panel).

Rescue of CY anti-tumor efficacy in nude mice by anti-DR5 antibodies.
<p>Tumor-bearing athymic nude mice (inoculated at day 0) were treated with CY or with PBS at day 9 (a) or day 7 (b) after tumor cell inoculation and were treated with anti-DR5 antibody (clone MD5-1) or PBS at day 8, 12 and 16 after tumor cell inoculation. Data shown are mean±SEM (<i>n</i> = 5/group for each experiment). * P<0.05 when CY is compared with CY + anti-DR5. The effect of anti-TRAIL Ab without CY is shown in (b). Two mice were disqualified from the graph as they were found dead early in the experiment.</p
