Fig. 5

Immunodeficient NMRI mice bearing subcutaneous PC3MM2 prostate tumors were injected intravenously with TILT-123 previously incubated with or without human lymphocytes or erythrocytes (500 VP/cell) in the presence of Ad5/3-specific antiserum. Negative mock control received PBS. After 3 days post treatments, the mice were euthanized and tumors (a), livers (b), spleen (c), lungs (d), and serum (e) were collected and snap-frozen to detect adenovirus Ad5/3 genomes through qPCR. Viral copy number was normalized against amount of genomic DNA in the sample, determined by the expression level of human β-actin (for tumors) and mouse β-actin (for murine samples). Copy number ratios in tumors vs. livers were calculated to evaluate the distribution of the virus (f). Data are presented as mean. RBC: erythrocytes; Lympho: lymphocytes. *P < 0.05 by two tailed post hoc Dunn’s test adjusted by Holm multiple testing correction method.
