Growth of human MM cells within SCID-hu mice triggers human IL-6 secretion. RPMI-8226 MM cells (1 × 104) were injected directly into the marrow cavity of the left human fetal bone implant in SCID-hu mice, and secretion of human IL-6 in mouse sera at 4, 8, and 12 weeks was determined by ELISA (A). ARH-77, OCI-My5, U-266, and RPMI-8226 MM cells ([▧] 1 × 104 MM cells; and [] 5 × 104 MM cells) were also injected directly into the marrow cavity of the left human fetal bone implant in SCID-hu mice, and the levels of human IL-6 in sera samples taken from these mice 12 weeks later were measured by ELISA (B).
