Subcutaneous in vivo injections of cells of the mastocytoma line P815 in syngenic DBA/2 mice induce locally fast growing solid tumors.

We report that progression of P815 tumors in vivo was accompanied by a burst (Days 5-7) of local inflammatory cells recruitment and angiogenesis observed histologically, corroborated in vivo by MRI with gadolinium, overtranscription of macrophage activation marker genes, secretion of TNF-alpha by regional lymph node cells and concomitant systemic inflammation.
