Antineo : Metastatic Head and Neck carcinoma tumour model – BICR-18
-
BICR 18 cells
Human BICR 18 cells were isolated from the lymph node of a patient with metastatic larynx H&N squamous cells 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 BICR 18 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
