Additionally, when assessing the sexes separately, there was an interaction between treatment and time in male mice only [F(2,12) = 4.421, p = 0.0364]; there were significantly more CD45+ immune cells in the tongue tissue from male MOC2-tumor bearing mice at PID9 compared to both PID6 (p = 0.040) and PID12 (p = 0.025). Here, PTPRC is linked to neoplasm.
