Subcutaneous Administration of D-Luciferin is an Effective Alternative to Intraperitoneal Injection in Bioluminescence Imaging of Xenograft Tumors in Nude Mice

Figure 5

BLS intensity after SC injection correlates with tumor growth over time. Five nude mice bearing U87-Luc bilateral subcutaneous thigh xenografts underwent BLI after SC injection of D-luciferin on days 7, 10, and 14 after implantation. BLS was collected every minute for 30 min, and signal intensities were plotted against time on each day the 5 mice were assessed. Error bars indicate SEM.
