Tumor growth in LLC1 bearing C57BL/6 mice.

Fourteen days following s.c. injection of 3x105 LLC1 tumor cells, mice received 15μg (i.p) bortezomib and/or an adoptive infusion of 1x106 NK cells from C57BL/6 mice (i.v) given on day 15. Each dot represents the tumor volume of individual mice measured on day 28 post tumor injection. Tumors were significantly smaller in mice treated with bortezomib followed by NK cells compared to controls or mice that received either NK cells alone or bortezomib alone (p<0.04 for all groups).
