Humanized Mouse Models for Immuno-Oncology Research
Humanized Mouse Models for Immuno-Oncology Research represent one of the most translationally relevant immuno-oncology tools
Humanized mouse models for immuno-oncology research are immunodeficient mice, with reconstituted human immune system (e.g., via PBMCs or CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells) co-engrafted with human tumors using either human cell lines or patient-derived tumor samples. Alternatively, transgenic knock-in humanized mouse models carrying human genes (such as human PD-1) are also available. This approach allows you to test your novel therapies with distinct patient tumor tissues and the human immune system of your choosing as the most accurate and specific representation of the patient tumor and immune system.
Using patient-derived xenografts or cell line-derived xenografts, human tumor cells or tissues are implanted in mice that feature an intact humanized immune system, representing a powerful tool for immuno-oncology research. Compared to other models where immunodeficient mice are used, humanized mice represent more advanced models, with InnoSer’s expert recommendation to be used in the advanced stages of your preclinical research.
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.
