The remarkable success of immune therapies emphasizes the need for immune-competent cancer models. Elegant genetically engineered mouse models of a variety of cancers have been established, but their effective use is limited by cost and difficulties in rapidly generating experimental data. Some mouse cancer cell lines are transplantable to immunocompetent host mice and have been utilized extensively to study cancer immunology. Here, we describe the Yale University Mouse Melanoma (YUMM) lines, a comprehensive system of mouse melanoma cell lines that are syngeneic to C57BL/6, have well-defined human-relevant driver mutations, and are genomically stable. This will be a useful tool for the study of tumor immunology and genotype-specific cancer biology.
免疫疗法的显著成功凸显了具备免疫活性的癌症模型的必要性。人们已经建立了各种优雅的基因工程小鼠癌症模型,但它们的有效应用受到成本以及快速生成实验数据的困难的限制。一些小鼠癌细胞系可移植到具有免疫活性的宿主小鼠体内,并已被广泛用于研究癌症免疫学。在此,我们描述了耶鲁大学小鼠黑色素瘤(YUMM)细胞系,这是一个全面的小鼠黑色素瘤细胞系系统,与C57BL/6同基因,具有明确的与人类相关的驱动突变,并且基因组稳定。这将成为研究肿瘤免疫学和基因型特异性癌症生物学的有用工具。
