This video describes the procedure to generate an experimental xenograft murine model, which can be used for studying urothelial cell carcinoma progression.
Protocol
All procedures involving animal models have been reviewed by the local institutional animal care committee and the JoVE veterinary review board. 1. UCC Mouse Model Preparation of mice for procedure Obtain 6- to 8-week old female NOD/SCID mouse. Shave the lower backs of the mouse using hair removal cream. Anesthetize the mouse in an induction chamber with isoflurane (2.5% in 100% oxygen, 1 L/min). Once sedated, place the mouse in the supine po…
Representative Results
Figure 1: Orthotopic UCC mouse models. (Aa) An angiocatheter was inserted into the bladder of a female NOD/SCID mouse and an electrocautery shock was applied to the bladder wall via a guidewire. (Ab) Luciferase tagged UCC tumor cells, BlCaPt15 (2 x 104 cells), or BlCaPt37 (5 x 105 cells) with the addition of 3 x 105 </sup…
