Time line of the experimental protocol. On day 0, cells are seeded onto
the polymer. Then, 3–7 days later, the polymer graft is implanted on
the right ovarian pedicle. On day 10–14, the IGROV-1 cell clot is
implanted under the left renal capsule. Then, 2–3 wk later, the tumor
sizes are measured. The kidney and the ovarian pedicle are removed for
immunohistochemical and/or histologic analysis. Serum is
collected throughout the protocol to measure MIS.
