DDX53 and colorectal carcinoma: Irrespective of this, both immunohistochemical and molecular analyses detecting hepatic RFP expression showed that similar numbers of CT26‐RFP cells reached the liver of Tie2‐GFP and Tie2‐IFNα mice by 5 min post‐injection (Fig 3B [top panels] and C, and Appendix Fig S3A), indicating that the higher IFNα levels detected in Tie2‐IFNα mice did not affect the capacity of CRC cells to initially engraft the liver parenchyma.
