Fig. 4From: Lentinan inhibits tumor angiogenesis via interferon γ and in a T cell independent mannerLNT treatments significantly reduce tumor vascular function in CT26 colorectal carcinoma. CT26 colorectal carcinoma cells (4 × 105) were s.c. injected on the right flank of BALB/c mice. When tumors reached 4 × 4 mm in diameter, mice were randomly divided into 2 groups and received i.p. injection of saline or 1.0 mg/kg of LNT for 10 days. Tumor vascular parameters were determined as described in Fig. 2. a Representative figures showed tumor vessel density and vascular function. b The quantifications of MFI of Hoechst33342 perfused tumor areas in saline (NS) or LNT treated tumors. c The MFI of tumor vessel density in saline or LNT treated tumors. ** p < 0.01Back to article page
