| 1BALB/c and SCID-beige were inoculated s.c. with 2.5 × 104 4T1/Ido1+ or 4T1/Ido1− tumor cells. FVB/N and SCID-beige were inoculated s.c. with 5 × 106 NT-5/Ido1+ or NT-5/Ido1− tumor cells. When tumors reached about 2 cm in diameter, lungs were harvested and fixed in the Bounce solution. Metastases were counted under dissecting microscope. *Significantly () differ from all other groups. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
