Fig. 7From: Comparing syngeneic and autochthonous models of breast cancer to identify tumor immune components that correlate with response to immunotherapy in breast cancerTesting tumor growth kinetics and immunotherapy response in immunodeficient and EMT6 murine models. Tumors from the autochthonous MMTV-PyMT model were harvested and single-cell suspensions were generated. a CD45+ cells were successfully removed (“sorted”). b Cells (1E6, 1E5, or 1E4) were injected into the mammary fat pad of FVB/NJ wild-type or nude mice. c-d Tumor volumes were measured and plotted as the mean total tumor burden ± SEM and the survival of nude mice are shown (d). e When the tumors reached 100 mm3, mice were randomized to treatment with Vehicle (IgG2B) or the combination of anti-PD-L1 plus anti-CTLA-4. f–g Babl/c mice were implanted with 1E6 or 1E4 tumor cells, and tumor growth kinetics (f) and response to vehicle and combination of anti-PD-L1 plus anti-CTLA-4 (g) were plotted. Tumor volumes were measured and plotted as the mean total tumor burden ± SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, and ****P<0.001Back to article page
