As shown in Figure 9A, the expression of VEGF-A at the mRNA level increased 3- to 6-fold in BxPC-3 xenografts when levels in the tumor cell line immediately before implantation (bar labeled BxPC-3-Sol) were compared to those in solid tumors removed when they reached 300 mg in size (Tumor IDs 1–8). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is neoplasm.
