Figure 5. Fzd6, but not Fzd9, gene ablation delays Eμ-TCL1–induced tumor growth. Eμ-TCL1 mice were crossed with Fzd9−/− (A, n = 40) and Fzd6−/− mice (B, n = 18) to obtain Eμ-TCL1+/− animals either heterozygous for Fzd6+/− or homozygous Fzd6−/−. The fraction of CD5+CD19+ cells in peripheral blood was determined by flow cytometry at the indicated times. Disease-free survival was defined as having less than 4% peripheral blood CD5+CD19+ cells. Disease-free survival was significantly longer in mice lacking Fzd6 as determined by log-rank test (P < .001).
