Growth of 5T33L MMM cells were inhibited in two groups of 2 C57BL/6 Rag1-deficient mice given either 5 million (----) or 20 milllion ( ___) HBSS-washed spleen cells from 3 month-old C57BL/6 mice given 1 week before the injection of 10 million 5T33L MMM cells compared to two experiments in which a total of 6 C57BL/6 Rag1-deficient mice received only HBSS (….). Bioluminescent imaging of photon flux (photons/sec) was measured 20 minutes of the injection of luciferin and after 2, 11, 18, 28, 35, and 43 days after the injection of 5T33L MMM cells. The difference between mice given and not given spleen cells was statistically significant and this difference increased progressively between 16 and 42 days after injection of the 5T33L cells (Chi-square-Fisher exact test p < 0.005).
