Each cell type was intravenously injected into 13 nude mice. Cells were treated for 5 days with or without IL-6 (100 ng/mL) prior to inoculation into mice.

Three weeks following inoculation, one mouse injected with each cell type was humanely killed and the BM analyzed for the presence of myeloid leukemic cells.
