Fig. 7. Effects of taxol and ascites on tumor development.
On EDD8, OCAM cells suspension were placed into the silicon O-ring for 4 days to allow tumor growth. On EDD12, tumors were treated with low dose of taxol in culture medium containing 5% FBS or 5% ascites for 4 days. Tumor size was monitored using a Wild Heerbrugg M3Z microscope at 10x magnification with a Lumenera INFINITY2-1 CDD camera with Infinity Capture Software. A- Representative photo of tumors obtained before (EDD12) and after treatment (EDD16). Dotted lines represent the demarcation of tumors. B- Evaluation of tumor growth after treatment.
