Cancer-derived VEGF plays no role in malignant ascites formation in the mouse

Figure 3 Effect of VEGF knockdown in a tumor grafted mouse ascites model. A: The ascites volume of mice inoculated with VEGF-KD7 or VEGF-WT cells (n = 5, P = 0.10, mean±SD); B: The VEGF concentration in ascites. VEGF in the ascites was measured using ELISA (n = 4, P = 0.054, mean±SD). C: 1106 VEGF-KD7 or VEGF-WT cells were inoculated into mice intraperitoneally and the mice were weighed (n = 8, P≥0.05 in each data point).
