- FIGURE 64-4. Angiostatin therapy of mice bearing murine and human
- tumors. Mean and standard error of tumor volume. The human tumors used
- were PC-3 prostate carcinoma (A; n = 7 and 4/group in separate
- experiments), clone A colon carcinoma (B; n = 4/group), and MDA-MB
- breast carcinoma (C; n = 6/group). The murine tumors used (n =
- 4/group) were Lewis lung carcinoma (D), T241 fibrosarcoma (E), and
- M5076 reticulum cell sarcoma (F). In each case, 1 x 10**6 cells were
- implanted. Tumor volumes were determined (width**2 x length x 0.52)
- and the ratio of treated to control tumor volume (T/C) was determined
- for the last time point. When tumor volume was 100 to 400 mm**3 (0.5%
- to 2% body weight), mice received 50 mg/kg of human angiostatin
- injected subcutaneously at a site distant from the tumor every 12
- hours or vehicle alone. Mice were killed and autopsied when the
- control mice began to die. (O'Reilly MS, Holmgren L, Chen C, Folkman
