Why IL-2 Still Holds Promise in Therapeutics of Cancer and Autoimmunity

Evaluating the Efficacy of Tumor-targeted Antibody in vivo

immunotherapy immune checkpoint immune checkpoint genes

As the most frequently used animal model, mice have been widely applied in the evaluation of drug efficacy. However, the human immune checkpoint genes only share ~60% identity with their murine counterparts. Thus antibodies that recognize human proteins do not necessarily interact with murine proteins, making it inappropriate to use wild type mice for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of human-specific antibody. The humanized immune checkpoint mouse models (Immune-Hu models), which were independently developed by Shanghai Model Organisms Center, are ideal models to evaluate the efficacy of anti-tumor antibody therapy.

Why We Need Humanized Mice?

Liver Cancer PDX Model

PDX PDX models Patient-derived Xenografts

Patient-derived Xenografts (PDX) are advanced preclinical oncology models for drug development. It offers a far better alternative for preclinical drug evaluation as compared to the conventional cell line-derived xenograft model.

Mouse models for cancer research

Tumor bearing Mouse DEN model PDX model CDX model

Shanghai Model Organisms Center provides multiple types of tumor-bearing mouse models for cancer research and drug efficacy testing, including cell line-derived xenograft model (CDX) and patient-derived xenograft model (PDX). While PDX models better reflect the heterogeneity and diversity of human cancers, CDX models allow researchers to advance their pre-clinical drug development in a cost- and time-efficient manner.

Brca1 CKO Mouse Model

Our own-developed Brca1 conditional knockout mice (Brca1-CKO) can be used to study breast cancer.

Rb1 CKO Mouse Model

With the ability to avoid the risk of death caused by homozygous and systemic knockout, our own-developed Rb1 conditional knockout mice (Rb1-CKO) can be used to study cancer, cell cycle or aging.

Inflammation Models

Inflammation is a common yet important pathological process. Any factor that may cause tissue damage can lead to inflammation. Anomal inflammatory response may result in chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases and even cancer. The regulation of inflammation-related genes is an important topic in the study of the development of inflammation.
