Tumour model - C8161

  • C8161 cells

Human C8161 cells were isolated from an abdominal-wall metastasis of a menopausal woman with recurrent malignant melanoma.

  • 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 C8161 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
