Bcl9/Bcl9l deficient cDC1 are superior to WT cDC1 in activation, antigen presentation and cross-priming of CD8+ T cells. a Expression of genes related to cDC1 maturation and antigen presentation in tumors and TdLNs from B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6 and +11 post inoculation. b, c GSVA (b) and GSEA (c) of cDC1 for gene sets in tumors from B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6, and +11 post inoculation. APP, antigen processing and presentation. d Cell communication analysis of cDC1 and CD8+ T cells in TdLNs from B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6, and +11 post inoculation. e GSVA of T cells in tumors from B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6, and +11 post inoculation. The gene sets related to T cell activation and function are shown. T cell activation via TCR-MHC on APC, is the abbreviation for T cell activation via TCR contact with Ag (antigen) bound to MHC on APC. f GSVA of cDC1 in tumors from B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6, and +11 post inoculation. The gene sets related to regulation of T cells are shown. g Cell fraction of TILs from tumors of B16-OVA tumor-bearing Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f mice and Bcl9f/fBcl9lf/f Cre-ERT2 mice treated i.p. with tamoxifen (1 mg/100 μL) in olive oil on days −7, −6, −5, +1, +6, and +11 post inoculation
