Table shows the frequency of metastases seen in organs imaged ex vivo using the IVIS imaging system following implantation of a subunit knockout strains of 4T1-12B cells in mice as described in Experimental Procedures. Data represent the number of mice showing metastases, with the total number of mice per group shown in parentheses.
