Blocking macrophages prevents outgrowth of PyMT tumour cells. (a) Experimental design used to block macrophages during transplantation. (b) Plug mass 3 weeks after PyMT transplantation in presence in either PBS or Clodronate (Clod) liposomes. *P value < 0.05 (n = 7, two tail T-test). (c) H&E (Upper panels) and immunohistochemical staining for F4/80 (Lower panels) 1 week post-transplantation in growth factor reduced matrigel with either PBS or Clodronate. Scale bar: 50 µm. (d,e) H&E of staining of PBS or Clodronate treated plugs at 3-week post-transplantation. Scale bar: 200 µm (d); Scale bar: 50 µm (e). (f) Immunohistochemical staining for αSMA of PBS or Clodronate treated plugs 1 week post-transplantation. Scale bar: 50 µm.
