Figure 6Tsc1-null and Tsc2-null MEFs have reduced tumorigenic potential. Tumor development and survival curves are shown for immunodeficient nude mice after subcutaneous inoculation with 1 × 10
6 MEFs. Mice receiving
Tsc1–/– cells (
A) or
Tsc2–/– cells (
B) had delayed tumor formation and a longer survival than mice receiving control cells. All cells used in
B were deficient in tumor suppressor gene
TP53.
