Antineo : Colorectal Carcinoma tumour model – HCT 116
-
HCT 116 cells
Human HCT 116 cells were isolated from the colon of a patient with colorectal carcinoma.
-
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 HCT116 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
