We further observed other pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines [IFN-G, IP10 (also known as CXCL10), MCP-1 (also known as CCL2) and MIP2 (also known as CXCL2)] to significantly elevate, however, only in NR and 129R, the strains that showed the highest tumor growth (Fig. 5C). This evidence concerns the gene CXCL10 and neoplasm.
