Differential ability among SCPs to metastasize to the adrenal gland. (A) After intracardiac injection of individual SCPs, bioluminescence images were acquired and analyzed for signals originating from regions consistent with adrenal metastasis (arrows). Shown are representative mice at 7 weeks after injection with SCPs that show varying abilities to give rise to adrenal metastasis. (B) At necropsy, left and right adrenal glands (with the kidneys) were removed and were imaged ex vivo for bioluminescence. Arrows show the locations of the left and right adrenal glands, respectively, from a representative mouse with adrenal metastasis.
