Figure 3. rLOX-PP incorporated in alginate beads inhibits NF639 xenograft growth in mice compared to empty beads.

(A) Subcutaneous 100 mm³ xenografts of NF639 breast cancer cells were established in mice. rLOX-PP/alginate or empty beads were implanted on day 15 (arrow). Tumors were monitored by caliper measurements (n = 10; *, p<0.05, ***, p<0.01). (B) The tumor growth rates were determined from measurements made beginning on day 18 and were derived from linear regression analyses of the data; (C) tumor weights determined at sacrifice on day 25 (n = 10; *, p<0.05).
