WT and Mac-1−/− mice were challenged with 1 × 105 B16F10 melanoma cells and treated with saline or TA99 combined with peg–G-CSF. Secondary target organs (thoracic and abdominal lymph nodes, liver, spleen, kidney, and CNS) were analyzed for presence of metastases on day 21. Results represent mean numbers (± SEMs) of metastases per target organ (WT: n = 7; Mac-1−/−: n = 6).
