Xenograft experiments were performed as previously described.29 (link) In summary, 1.0 × 107 MM cells were resuspended in serum-free medium, mixed with Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix (Corning, Corning, NY) at a 1:1 ratio, and injected subcutaneously into the flanks of female NOD.CB17/AlhnRj-PrkdcSCID/Rj mice 8 to 10 weeks of age (Janvier Labs, Le Genest-Saint-Isle, France). After tumor engraftment, mice were randomly assigned to be administered CFZ (2 mg/kg) IV, subasumstat (25 mg/kg) IV, a combination of both, or vehicle control twice per week. Treatment was performed for a total of 7 days. Tumor growth was monitored by caliper measurements. Mice were housed under specific pathogen-free conditions, and animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the local ethical guidelines and approved by the responsible regional authorities (District Government of Upper Bavaria; application no. ROB-55.2-2532.Vet_02-17-230).
