Antineo : Colon Adenocarcinoma tumour model – HT-29
-
HT-29 cells
Human HT-29 cells were isolated from the colon of a patient with colon adenocarcinoma.
-
Tumour growth in vivo
The cells were collected from a tissue culture flask and injected subcutaneously in the right flank of SCID-CB17 mice. The resulting tumours were monitored by measuring two diameters with calipers, and extrapolating the volume to a sphere.
The mice bearing HT-29 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible

Antineo can also perform an intra-caecal implantation.
