Patient-derived xenograft (PDX ) tumors are models developed by direct transplant of human tumors into immune-compromised hosts such as nude mice. These models retain the histological and genetic characteristics of the primary tumor and are considered a valuable platform for translational cancer research. This chapter describes the methodology to establish and propagate bladder cancer PDX model.
患者来源的异种移植(PDX)肿瘤是通过将人类肿瘤直接移植到免疫缺陷宿主(如裸鼠)中而建立的模型。这些模型保留了原发肿瘤的组织学和遗传学特征,被认为是转化癌症研究的宝贵平台。本章描述了建立和传代膀胱癌PDX模型的方法。
