<p>Murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Panc02) cells were transduced to stably express eGFP and firefly luciferase and 10<sup>4</sup> tumor cells were injected orthotopically into albino C57Bl/6 mice. Tumor growth in wild type mice (B6.WT) and mice that were deficient for TNF or its receptors was determined by <i>in vivo</i> BLI. A: Tumor growth displayed as total radiance (B6.WT n = 8, B6.TNF KO n = 8, B6.TNFR1 KO n = 6, B6.TNFR2 KO n = 9, B6.TNFR1R2 KO n = 7). B: Exemplary pictures of the imaging time course of a mouse that spontaneously rejected the tumor (left) and a mouse that could not control tumor progression (right). C: <i>Ex vivo</i> imaging one month after tumor cell inoculation. Internal organs were imaged for the presence of tumor cells. Exemplary pictures of a mouse that spontaneously rejected the tumor (I), a mouse with low tumor burden (II), and a mouse with high tumor burden (III). D: Pancreatic tumor size one month after Panc02 inoculation is displayed as total radiance (B6.WT n = 8, B6.TNF KO n = 8, B6.TNFR1 KO n = 6, B6.TNFR2 KO n = 9, B6.TNFR1R2 KO n = 5). * p≤0.05, ** p≤0.01. Combined data from four independent experiments.</p
