Antineo : Glial cells astrocytoma Tumour model – U251
-
U251 cells
Human U251 cells were isolated from a human malignant multiforme glioblastoma.
-
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 U251 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
