The cell line-derived xenograft tumor (CDX) model is a tumor model constructed by transplanting an in vitro cultured xenogeneic (human-derived) tumor cell line into an immunodeficient mouse. Alfa Cytology provides customized CDX models for bladder cancer research.
CDX models involve the transplantation of bladder cancer cell lines into immunodeficient animals, typically mice. These cell lines are derived from human and possess specific genetic and molecular characteristics. CDX models offer several advantages in preclinical research, including ease of use, reproducibility, and scalability. By utilizing CDX models, we can investigate tumor biology, evaluate therapeutic efficacy, and elucidate underlying mechanisms of bladder cancer progression.

Through rigorous screening and characterization, we ensure the authenticity, stability and genetic fidelity of the selected cell lines. The cell lines mainly used to construct CDX models were 5637, 5637-luc, UMUC3, 786-o-luc, RT4, SW-780. | Taking into account factors such as implantation efficiency, tumor growth kinetics, and compatibility with the selected cell line, we provide you with the most appropriate strain, such as nude mice, NOD SCID mice, or M-NSG mice, to ensure optimal tumor engraftment and growth. |

We offer accurate and reproducible tumor cell implantation. Whether via subcutaneous or in situ (bladder), we carefully implant bladder cancer cells into mice to optimize tumor growth. | Our regular monitoring of tumor growth using non-invasive imaging techniques such as bioluminescence or ultrasound allows for longitudinal assessment and accurate evaluation of therapeutic efficacy. |
CDX models are increasingly being used to enable the following types of preclinical research for bladder cancer:
In the quest for improved diagnostics and treatments for bladder cancer, the development of reliable and clinically relevant preclinical models is of paramount importance. Through meticulous cell line selection, precise implantation techniques, in vivo pharmacology studies, and rigorous data analysis, Alfa Cytology empowers our clients to make significant strides in understanding bladder cancer biology and identifying promising therapeutic candidates.
