Figure 1From: Characterization of human malignant mesothelioma cell lines orthotopically implanted in the pleural cavity of immunodeficient mice for their ability to grow and form metastasis Subcutaneous growth of MPM cells. Subcutaneously growth of MPM cells in nude mice. ◆ = IST-Mes3 (2 × 106 cells injected), ■ = IST-Mes3 (4 × 106 cells injected), ▲ = IST-Mes2 (2 × 106 cells injected), ● = MM-B1 (2 × 106 cells injected). Tumor volume was calculated using the formula: V (mm3) = (D × d2)/2, where d (mm) and D (mm) are the smallest and largest perpendicular tumor diameters, respectively.Back to article page
