Xenograft Mouse Models for Pancreatic Cancer
Alfa Cytology is a leading biology contract research organization (CRO). We have extensive experience constructing transplantation models for pancreatic cancer (PC). Based on our comprehensive expertise in this area and advanced technology platform, we can develop various PC xenograft models for our customers for research and preclinical purposes.
Overview of Transplantation Models
Transplantation models involve the transplantation of mouse or human cells/spheres/organoids/tissues into recipient mice. Compared to genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs), transplantation models are easier to handle and have a relatively low and more predictable tumor latency. Transplantation models can be classified as in situ implantation models (in the pancreas) or ectopic implantation models (subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intrapleural, or intracardiac) depending on the location of cell implantation.

Moreover, according to the transplant source, transplantation models can be divided into syngeneic (allograft) and xenogeneic (xenograft). The allograft models are established by transplanting mouse-derived tumor cells and tumors into mice. In contrast to the allograft model, xenografts require the implantation of human tumors or cancer cells into immunocompromised mice, and PC cell lines or spheroids serve as common sources for transplantation.
Our Services
Over the past decades, xenograft models have been the backbone of cancer research, providing an effective environment for studying and evaluating novel therapies. We can construct different types of xenograft models for PC research. Several xenograft models of PC are available for our customers to choose from.

Xenograft models serve as powerful research tools. CDXs are widely used in preclinical studies because of their low cost, rapid and efficient drug screening, and simple tumor size assessment. The xenograft models are significantly improved by establishing PDXs, thus bypassing the need for cancer cells to adapt to cell culture conditions.
