a

Two mice died shortly after injection, likely due to embolism, therefore they are excluded from subsequent calculations

b

As determined by BLI

c

Numbers and percentages for these tumors are based on analyses of the autopsied mice with tumors

TO = Thoracic only tumors

T+ = Thoracic + systemic tumors

ET = Extrathoracic (systemic) tumors
