Fig. 1. Impact of autophagy deletion on melanoma development.
Kaplan–Meyer curves depicting tumour onset of the indicated genotypes. A Log-Rank test was used to compare the tumour onset distribution and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Censored animals had to be sacrificed because they reached endpoint criteria or old age without evidence of melanoma.
