F1 mice were inoculated with B16-EpCAM melanoma cells (5 × 103) 24 hours after conditioning with 4 Gy TBI. One day later, 30 × 106 naive C57 splenocytes were given intraperitoneally with or without pretreatment with BiLu (10 μg per mouse). P values are for the comparison of tumor- and GVHD-related death as well as for disease-free survivors with or without BiLu treatment. Unless otherwise indicated, P < .001.

NA indicates not applicable.

P = .005
