In Vivo Experimental Parameters
Number Of Groups
2
Types Of Groups
Tumour bearing animals - + CXCR4 blocking drug
Overall Sample Size
9
Disease Model
Cancer
Organ Or Tissue
Tumour, liver
Sample Size For Each Group
4 animals for tracer uptake, 4 animals for tracer uptake + blocking compound
Power Calculation
The number of animals included in the study was based on previous reports where an approximately 70% difference was seen between naïve and blocked animals in CXCR4 expressing organs [https: jnm.snmjournals.org content 61 1 123]. Detection of such difference therefore required 3 animals per group (power = 0.95 and a = 0.05) assuming a 20% standard deviation within the groups.
Randomization
Yes. All animals included in the study were randomly selected among tumour bearing mice with tumours at size.
Blinding
No
