A Histogram displaying the ratio of CD8+ T cells over CD4+ T cells obtained upon in vitro stimulation by OVA-peptide loaded DCs that had either been left untreated (control) or were activated classically, or upon exposure to 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs. B, C Histograms displaying the relative level (control: 100%) of B) granzyme B release, or C) perforin release from T cells obtained from part A that had been exposed to the OVA-derived SIINFEKL peptide. D, E Histograms displaying the level of D) IL12p70 release or E) relative Ccr7 surface expression (control: 100%) on DCs that had either been left untreated (control) or were activated classically, or exposed to 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs. F, G)Histograms displaying the F) number of migrated DCs or G) the level of IL12p70 secreted from migratory DCs obtained from DCs that had either been left untreated (control) or were activated classically, or exposed to 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs and subsequently exposed to the CCR7 ligand 6C-kine. H, I Histograms displaying the in vivo antibody titer for H) OVA-specific IgG1 or I) OVA-specific IgG2α obtained upon intravenous administration of OVA-pulsed DCs that had either been left untreated (control) or were activated classically, or exposed to 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs. J Histogram displaying the level of IFNγ obtained from ex vivo splenocytes obtained from animals receiving the different types of OVA-pulsed DCs and incubated with OVA ex vivo. K Tumor volumes obtained from OVA-expressing E0771 tumors grafted subcutaneously in C57Bl6 mice receiving the different OVA-pulsed DCs that had either been left untreated (control) or were activated classically, or exposed to 33% Cu-doped TiO2 NPs. L, M Histograms displaying the relative level (control: 100%) of L) granzyme B release, or M) perforin release from CD8+ T cells isolated from OVA-E0771 tumor-bearing animals having received OVA-pulsed DC grafts of the different DC types and then exposed to the OVA-derived SIINFEKL peptide ex vivo. N Histogram displaying the level of OVA-specific CD8+ T cells isolated from the spleen of OVA-E0771 tumor-bearing animals having received OVA-pulsed DC grafts of the different DC types
