stained with anti-MHC class I (H-2Kb clone AF6-88.5 for C1498 and B16-F10 and H-2Kd clone SF1-1.1

for CT26 and 4T1) or isotype control. For B16-F10, some cells were incubated with 100 ng/ml IFN-

(Biolegend) for 24 hours before staining. (B) CDN-induced delay in tumor growth in Rag-/-Il2rg-/- mice

are TNF--dependent. RMA-B2m-/- tumors were established in Rag2-/Il2rg-/- mice, treated and analyzed

as in Fig. 1B. Some mice were given TNF- neutralizing antibody or control Ig (see Methods). n=3-4 per

group. Representative of two independent experiments.

Fig. S13. IFNAR1 neutralization reduces CDN-induced IL-15RA expression. RMA-B2m-/- tumors

were established and treated as in Fig. 1B. One group of CDN-treated mice received IFNAR1 neutralizing

antibody. 24 h later splenocytes were harvested, ACK-treated, and stained for flow cytometry as in

Methods. The MFI is displayed. DCs, monocytes, neutrophils, NK cells, and macrophages were gated as

in Fig. 7B. n=4. Data (representative of 2 independent experiments) were analyzed by one-way ANOVA

with Tukey’s correction for multiple comparisons. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P<0.0001.
