Cell line-derived Xenograft (CDX) Mouse Models
Cell-line derived xenograft (CDX) mouse models represent one of the first steps of determining the efficacy of your novel anticancer therapies in an in vivo model
Cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) mouse models are established from immortalized human cancer cells that are implanted and grown in immunodeficient mice. However, to fully recapitulate the intricacies between the immune system and the rodent tumor microenvironment, humanized models are recommended instead of immunodeficient mice. In comparison to syngeneic mouse models, human cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) models offer you the advantage of working with a mouse model with relevant human cancer target proteins as opposed to rodent proteins.
Therefore, experts at InnoSer recommend the use of CDX models as a first step to evaluate the efficacy of your novel targeted anti-cancer compounds using in vivo models of human cancer. Accordingly, cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) mouse models represent an easy-to-use and relatively inexpensive mouse model with short study timelines (2-4 weeks), offering you a cost-effective alternative to other preclinical screening models. However, for running more advanced studies, InnoSer’s experts recommend performing in vivo studies using patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models, offering you the most clinically relevant in vivo cancer model.
Developing new, safe, and efficacious anticancer therapies is an extremely intricate process. As a preclinical oncology contract research organization (CRO), InnoSer partners with you to help you navigate the complexities of this research area.
Scientists at InnoSer collaborate with you to develop the most optimal study design to help answer your research questions in the most cost-effective way. With flexible and fast study start times you can perform your research at an accelerated pace. By outsourcing your preclinical oncology studies to InnoSer, you gain access to our in vitro and in vivo oncology drug development portfolio.
