BLI of multisite xenograft model after SC injection. (a) A single nude mouse bearing bilateral U87-Luc subcutaneous thigh xenograft tumors and, a simultaneous GBM12-Luc intracranial xenograft tumor was imaged 10 min after SC injection of D-luciferin. (b) The BLS of each tumor (1 min collection) was plotted over time.
