Oncology CRO services – Syngeneic Mouse Models
Syngeneic mouse models represent one of the first steps needed to determine the efficacy of your novel immunotherapies in an in vivo model with functional immune system
InnoSer’s Syngeneic Mouse Model Services
Syngeneic mouse models are established from immortalized murine cancer cells originating from inbred mouse strains that are implanted and grown in genetically identical strains. Avoiding the need to use immunocompromised mice, this approach allows you to study your novel immunotherapy’s efficacy in a mouse model that combines tumor microenvironment interactions with a fully functional immune system.
Therefore, experts at InnoSer recommend the use of syngeneic rodent models (mice or rats) as a first step to evaluate the efficacy of your novel immunotherapy approaches (vaccines, mRNA-based therapeutics, immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, (stem) cell therapy such as CAR-T cell therapy, NK cell therapy, etc., as well as classical anti-tumoral compounds (chemotherapy, radiotherapy). Accordingly, syngeneic mouse models represent an easy-to-use, relatively inexpensive mouse model with short study timelines (2-4 weeks), offering reproducible immune response results. However, for more advanced studies, InnoSer’s experts recommend working with humanized mouse models.

Syngeneic Mouse Models Sample Data

Tumor growth curve data from the 4T1 (breast cancer cell line) syngeneic mouse model.
Following initial cell culturing, murine breast cancer cells (4T1 mouse breast cell line) were injected orthotopically (directly into the mammary fat pad) of BALB/C mice. This mouse model is available at InnoSer both as an (A) subcutaneous (4T1) whereby tumor growth is followed via calipers and (B) orthotopic mouse model (4T1-luc) whereby tumor growth is followed via bioluminescent imaging. The model is validated with standard-of-care treatments doxorubicin and gemcitabine.

Tumor growth curve data from the PanO2 (pancreatic cancer cell line) syngeneic mouse model.
Following initial cell culturing, murine pancreatic cancer cells (PanO2 cell line) were injected subcutaneously into the left flank of C57BL/6 mice. Model is validated with standard-of-care treatment gemcitabine (tested at different concentrations).

Tumor growth curve data from the MC38 (colorectal carcinoma) syngeneic mouse model.
Following initial cell culturing, murine colorectal carcinoma cells (MC38 cell line) were injected into the left flank of C57BL/6 mice. The MC38 colorectal carcinoma syngeneic mouse model is available at InnoSer both as (A) subcutaneous and (B) orthotopic model. The model is validated with checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-1.

Tumor growth curve data from the Renca (renal cell carcinoma) syngeneic mouse model.
Following initial cell culturing, murine renal cell carcinoma cells (Renca cell line) were injected into the left flank of C57BL/6 mice. The renal cell carcinoma Renca syngeneic mouse model is available at InnoSer both as a (A) subcutaneous model and orthotopic (B-C) model. The model is validated with standard-of-care treatment Doxorubicin (different dosages tested). Compared to healthy kidneys (B), kidneys of mice injected with Renca cells (C) lead to increase in total kidney volume and development of lesions which can be longitudinally imaged and quantified.

よくあるご質問
How can I use in vivo imaging for orthotopic models in my research?
- Bioluminescence imaging (BLI): Ideal for tracking labeled tumor cells in real-time.
- Ultrasound imaging: A non-invasive option for quantifying tumor size in non-labeled models (e.g., RENCA renal carcinoma).
What is the advantage of tracking tumor growth using bioluminesence imaging?
- Non-invasive and longitudinal tracking: Monitor tumor growth over time without sacrificing animals, reducing variability and animal numbers.
- High sensitivity: Allows early detection of small tumors that may not be visible with other methods.
- BLI is especially suitable for orthotopic models where tumors are located in internal sites that are difficult to measure manually.
How can tumor growth be tracked in non-fluorescently labelled orthotopic syngeneic mouse models?
- Other imaging modalities: Ultrasound imaging is a common alternative for internal tumors (e.g., RENCA renal cell carcinoma).
- Manual measurement: Tumors can be manually measured post-sacrifice at pre-determined time points, but this requires increased animal numbers and imposes higher study costs.
- These considerations further highlight the advantages of incorporating in vivo imaging to improve data quality and reduce study expenses.
