NA, not applicable. 5 × 105 A-SIY/HEL or A-SIY cancer cells or 2.5 × 105 A-SIY mixed with 2.5 × 105 A-HEL cancer cells were injected subcutaneously into opposite flanks of B6C3 mice as indicated. Tumor growth was monitored. Tumors on side B were readapted to culture and analyzed by flow cytometry for expression of the SIY and HEL antigens. Data are representative of at least two independent experiments.
