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.

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.

Cancer Model

The laboratory mouse is widely considered as a valid and affordable model organism for studying human disease. Mouse models of cancer not only enable researchers to understand the genetic basis of tumor development in complicated and dynamic physiological systems, but also serve as irreplaceable tools for developing and testing new therapies.  Shanghai Model Organisms Center offers a variety of mouse models of cancer to meet the needs of both academic and industry partners.

Model Repository

model repository

Shanghai Model Organisms has established more than 18,000 genetically modified mouse models using three core technologies of gene editing. It has more than 10,000 proprietary genetically engineered mouse models that can be directly used for studies on gene functions, drug screening, and human diseases. At the same time, Shanghai Model Organisms has more than 30 fluorescent-labeled tumor cell lines, which can be used for in vitro experiments, studies on tumor bearing mice and other tumor researches.

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.

Disease Mouse Models (Non-genetically-engineered)

Shanghai Model Organisms has established a library of typical mouse models of human diseases through surgery or drug induction, thereby providing useful animal models for the research on pathogenesis of related diseases, functional studies of genes or proteins in diseases, screening of disease drugs and evaluation of therapeutic effects, etc.
