Figure 5From: Distinct population of highly malignant cells in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line established by xenograft modelPulmonary metastasis generated by SASVO3. SASVO3 cells were injected into the tail vein and the mice were sacrificed after 90 days to detect lung colonization by tumors. Gross morphology is shown by an illuminating device (left). Histological analysis of the lungs for metastatic lesions was performed by H&E staining (middle). The expression of Bmi1 in a pulmonary metastatic tumor was detected by IHC (right).Back to article page
