Figure 1. Effect of chronic stress on breast cancer metastasis to distant tissues.

Figure 1

A. Metastasis was quantified by periodic imaging of tumor-specific bioluminescence signal in chest region in Balb/c mice and (B) quantified over multiple mice (5 per group). Inset shows increased resolution of the control condition. Luciferase activity: photons/sec. C. Tissue-specific metastasis was quantified by ex vivo bioluminescent imaging of tumor masses in lung and lymph node (axillary and brachial). D. Primary tumor volume was derived from 2-dimensional caliper measurements. Data: Mean ± S.E.
