Incidences of metastasis and percent metastatic area per tissue by control/FP10SC2, CDH17(−)/FP#1, and CDH17(−)/FP#2.

CellLungSpine

Control/FP10SC2100% (13/13)85% (11/13)

CDH17(−)/FP#175% (9/12)25% (3/12)

CDH17(−)FP#2100% (15/15)47% (7/15)

Note. Control/FP10SC2 (), CDH17(−)/FP#1 (), or CDH17(−)/FP#2 () cells (/mouse) were subcutaneously injected to mice and 25 days later tissue metastasis was evaluated in histological sections. Percent metastatic area per lung or spine was calculated using Image J.
