Antineo: Bladder carcinoma syngeneic tumour model – MBT-2
▪ MBT-2 cells
Mouse MBT-2 cells are derived from C3H/He bladder transitional cells serially transplanted and exposed to FANFT
▪ Tumour growth in vivo
The cells were collected from a tissue culture flask and injected subcutaneously in the right flank of C3H/He mice. The resulting tumours were monitored by measuring two diameters with calipers, and extrapolating the volume to a sphere.
The mice bearing MBT-2 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.

Immunophenotyping data of the lymphoid and myeloid lineage are available upon request.
Antineo has developed models of secondary resistance to anti-PDL1 (ID MBT-2 anti-PDL1R). These models have been developed in vivo without genetic modifications.
