Figure 5.
Reduced tumor burden in src–/– mice but not fyn–/– mice following experimental lung metastasis of invasive melanoma. Syngeneic B16F10 melanoma cells were injected intravenously in the tail vein of src–/– and control src+/– mice, and lung tumor burden determined after 15 days, as described in “Materials and methods.” (A) Wet lung weights of B16 tumors from src–/– and src+/– are shown (*P < .05) (n = 5). (B) Representative stereomicrographs of lung tumor burden are shown from src–/– or control src+/+ hosts. Administration of B16F10 tumor cells into fyn–/– and control wild-type (WT) mice was performed by intravenous injection of tumor cells as described previously. (C) Wet lung weights of WT (fyn+/+) and fyn–/– mice are shown (P > .2) (n = 5). For panels A and C, error bars indicate standard error. (D) Representative stereomicrographs of lung tumor burden are shown from WT (fyn+/+) or fyn–/– hosts.
