Fig 1: Expression of T-cell activation/exhaustion markers on the CD8+ TIL. a Expression of Nrp-1, PD-1, LAG-3, CTLA-4 and Tim-3 on CD8+ T cells from B16F10 TIL isolated at day 15. Right: percentages of Nrp-1 among CD8+ T cells expressing or not PD-1 (n = 26), Tim-3 (n = 19), LAG-3 (n = 19) or CTLA-4 (n = 16). b Expression of Nrp-1 on CD8+ T cells correlated with that of PD-1 (n = 38). c Expression of Nrp-1 on CD8+ TIL is restricted to a PD-1hi T-cell population. Left, Expression of Nrp-1 and PD-1 on CD8+ TIL; identification of three T-cell subsets: Nrp-1+PD-1hi, Nrp-1-PD-1+and Nrp-1-PD-1-. Right: expression of exhaustion/activation markers, functional proteins and transcription factors in Nrp-1+PD-1hi, Nrp-1-PD-1+ and Nrp-1-PD-1- CD8+ T-cell subsets. Heat maps including percentages of cells positive for expression of PD-1, Nrp-1, Tim-3, CTLA-4, LAG-3, granzyme B (GrzB) and Ki-67, and gMFI for NFATc1, IRF-4, Helios, Blimp-1 and T-bet (n = 5). d gMFI of PD-1 on Nrp-1+PD-1hi, Nrp-1-PD-1+ and Nrp-1-PD-1- TIL subsets (n = 16). Results are representative of three to five independent experiments.
