Table 2. Effect of D16F7 mAb treatment on tumor growth in vivo.

Experimental groupa Tumor volume inhibition (%)b,d Tumor growth quadrupling time (days)c,d Tumor growth delay indexd
Control mice 3.37 ± 0.16
10 mg/kg D16F7 48.6 ± 9.7 5.18 ± 0.27 1.54 ± 0.08

a

Mice were treated with vehicle (control mice) or 10 or 20 mg/kg D16F7 mAb on alternate days. D16F7 antitumor efficacy was assessed by the end-points described in the Materials and methods section.

b

Tumor growth inhibition was calculated at the end of the experiment illustrated in Figure 5, on day 16 after injection of B16F10 melanoma cells (n = 5 animals/group).

c

Tumor growth quadrupling time was calculated starting from day 6 (n = 8 animals/group).

d

Results are mean values ± SD. Statistical analysis using the ANOVA and Bonferroni post-test method for multiple comparisons indicated that differences between tumor growth quadrupling times of treated (both 10 and 20 mg/kg) and control mice were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Differences in tumor volume inhibition, tumor growth quadrupling time and tumor growth delay index between 10 and 20 mg/kg treated mice were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Data shown are representative of two independent experiments with similar results.
