  1. Target cells were exposed for 3 weeks to cancer patient sera or Colo-320 cell line conditioned medium. Cells were inoculated subcutaneously to immunodepressed mice and mice were monitored for tumor growth.
  2. athis ratio represent the number of mice that develop subcutaneous tumour over the total number of injected mice per cell culture condition.
