AdCMV-PAI-1 or AdCMV-βGal were inoculated IC either on day 7 or days 7 and 9. IV inocula containing either AdCMV-βGal or AdCMV-PAI-1 were administered on days 21 and 28 or on days 21, 28, and 35. Mice were euthanized on day 49 and liver metastases were evaluated histopathologically by three independent observers.
