The video demonstrates a fluorescence imaging method for in vivo antibody localization in a mouse tumor xenograft model. It involves the injection of tumor cells in a mouse to generate solid xenografts beneath the skin. Subsequent injection of fluorescent antibodies confirms specific localization through enhanced fluorescence signals within the tumor xenograft.
Protocol
1. Expression and purification of antibodies Maintenance of CHO cells Grow CHO cells in FreeStyle CHO Media supplemented with commercially available 1x glutamine supplement at 37 ˚C shaking at 130 rpm with 5% CO2 using delong Erlenmeyer flasks, either glass or disposable. NOTE: It is highly recommended to use a baffled flask with a vented cap for increased agitation and to improve gas transfer during shaking conditions. Significantly r…
