Plectin knockout cells form low density tumors. A Control or PKO cells (1 × 105 cells per mouse) were subcutaneously injected into BALB/cAJcl-nu/nu mice (n = 8). Photographs of extracted tumors 2 weeks after injection. Scale bar = 10 mm. B Tumor density was calculated from excised tumor weight and volume. Averages of the total tumor density of all tumors excised from each mouse is shown in the graph (n = 8). C Sections of tumors were stained with H&E. Scale bar = 50 μm. D Cell density and the area between cells were calculated. (*; p < 0.05 vs control)
