This video demonstrates the protocol for implanting green fluorescent protein-expressing pancreatic cancer cells orthotopically into the pancreas of the mouse. The orthotopic mouse model helps in investigating the efficacy of novel therapeutics on primary and metastatic tumors.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the jove veterinary review board. 1. Surgical Implantation NOTE: Ensure that all surgical materials and instruments are sterile. Practice aseptic techniques at all times. Place a heating pad on the table and cover with a sterile drape. Set up the anesthesia machine and ensure all the supplies are within arm'…
