Abstract
T cells and NK cells in the tumor tissue of tumor-bearing mice inoculated with SCC2 were significantly higher, whereas those of myeloid cells were significantly lower, than those in the SCC1 and LLC1 groups. Our results suggest that the in vivo growth of two subclones derived from LLC1 was determined by the tumor microenvironment rather than their intrinsic proliferative cell characteristics.
