Twenty female 8- to 10-week-old NOD.CB17- Prkdcscid/NCrHsd mice (NOD-SCID; Envigo, Huntingdon, UK) were injected intratibially with 2×105 RPMI-8226 cells suspended in phosphate-buffered saline. Mice were treated with the anti-JAM-A monoclonal antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, mouse monoclonal clone J10.4) recognizing the distal membrane extracellular domain of JAM-A.
Twenty female 6- to 8-week-old NOD-SCID mice were injected subcutaneously (s.c.), into the right flank, with 1×107 RPMI-8226 cells suspended in 200 mL RPMI-1640 medium and 200 mL MatrigelTM as described previously16 (link) and detailed in the Online Supplementary Methods.
