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.

Mouse

Mice have long been the prime choice for model organisms. In more than 100 years, mice have been widely used by researchers in the fields of physiology, pathology, pharmacology, toxicology, and behavioral science. With the establishment of gene targeting technology, many researchers have made their way to the Nobel Prize.

Gene Knock-in

gene knock in knock in mice knock in mouse

Knock-in represents the introduction of specific mutations or exogenous genes, such as point mutations (mimicking human genetic disease) at the selected location or reporter genes (e.g., EGFP, RFP, mCherry, YFP, LacZ, Luciferase etc.) or functional cDNAs (such as Cre, Dre etc.) into a specific genomic locus through homologous recombination, thereby allowing the exogenous DNA fragment to be expressed. A simultaneous occurrence of knock-in and knock-out can be achieved by replacing a murine endogenous gene with a foreign DNA fragment.

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.
