Table 1
Analyses of tumor formation by CD44v3highALDH1high cells, CD44v3lowALDH1low cells, CD44v3lowALDH1high cells, or unsorted cells subcutaneously injected into NOD/SCID mice.

*For the tumor cell injection, each mouse was subcutaneously inoculated with CD44v3highALDH1high cells or CD44v3lowALDH1high cells or CD44v3lowALDH1low cells or unsorted cells with 5,000 cells, 500 cells, or 50 cells as described in the Section 2. The values expressed in the Table 1 represent the number of animals developed tumors/total number of animals used in the study. The tumor formation assay was performed on at least 5 different experiments with a standard deviation less than ±5%. |
