The syngeneic mouse model effectively studies how pancreatic cancer therapies work in the presence of a functional immune system. Alfa Cytology is a leading biology contract research organization (CRO). We have extensive experience constructing syngeneic models for pancreatic cancer (PC).
Overview of Syngeneic Models
The difference between the syngeneic mouse model, also known as the allogeneic mouse tumor system, and the humanized mouse model is the source of the cancer being monitored. In the humanized mouse model, the cancer cells were taken directly from humans, while in the syngeneic mouse model, the cancer cells came from mice or genetically similar rodents. Genetically identical mouse models are generated through a transplant or grafting procedure, in which one mouse's cells, tissues, or organs are transplanted into another mouse.

Syngeneic transplantation is less prone to rejection and less dependent on immunosuppressive drugs. Syngeneic mouse models are used in cancer research to determine the overall efficacy of novel therapies. Tumor growth is monitored in the context of different therapies, thus providing clues to how various therapies affect tumor growth.
Our Services
Alfa Cytology offers a variety of syngeneic mouse models, including those that respond to immunotherapy. Because genetically identical mice retain intact immune systems, they are particularly suitable for immunotherapy research. Examples of uses include cancer therapies targeting immune checkpoints or immunostimulatory molecules.
Syngeneic Mouse Models for Immunotherapy
Alfa Cytology provides immunoassays and genetically evaluated syngeneic mouse models, such as Pan02, with a clear response to known immune checkpoint inhibitors.
- Anti-PDL-1
- Anti-PD-1
- Anti-CTLA-4
Applications of the syngeneic model include but are not limited to the following.
- Responsiveness to known immunomodulatory therapies
- Extent and composition of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs)
- Immunogenicity testing
