AC Violin plots indicating the level of A) TAMs B) TILs, and C) CD8+ TILs expressed relative to the total number of A,B) all cells or C) CD3+ TILs as determined by ImageStreamX Mark II analysis (n = 8). D The number of conventional DCs (XCR1+ cDC1 or CD172α+ cDC2) observed in the tumor draining lymph node of KLN 205 tumors treated with vehicle (saline control) or 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs. E–K Histograms representing the relative percentage of E) F4/80+ macrophages, F) CD45+ lymphocytes, G) CD19+ B cells, H) CD3+ T cells, I) CD4+ T cells, J) CD8+ T cells, K) CD69+ T cells determined by ImageStreamX Mark II analysis of isolated spleens and expressed relative to E–H) total splenocytes, I,J) total CD3+ T cells, K) total CD8+ CD3+ T cells. L) Violin plots indicating the fold difference in tumor volumes as determined by caliper measurements in animals bearing 2 subcutaneous tumors on contralateral sides. The animals either systemically received anti-PD1 only (IT group, 200 µg/mouse administered 2 days before, together with or 2 days following saline administration), or received anti-PD1 systemically (200 µg/mouse administered 2 days before, together with or 2 days following NP administration) and the tumor on the right received a single bolus of 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs (NP group) versus vehicle control (saline) in the left tumor (contralateral group). Significant differences between a treated group and untreated controls at the same time point are indicated where relevant (p < 0.01: **; p < 0.001: ***; p < 0.0001: ****) based on ANOVA testing using GraphPad Prism 9 (n = 8)
