This video describes the protocol for generating a patient-derived orthotopic xenograft colorectal cancer mouse model to study the progression of colorectal cancer cells in non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD/SCID) mice. This murine model helps in understanding primary tumor growth and metastases pattern.
Protocol
All procedures involving animals have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. Culturing cell lines Grow HK cells in complete RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 nM glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin G, and 100 mg/mL streptomycin at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. NOTE: HK cells are normal human follicular dendritic cells and can …
