Antineo : Myeloma tumour model – RPMI 8226

  • RPMI 8226 cells

Human RPMI 8826 cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of a patient with a Plasmocytoma.

  • 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 RPMI 8226 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intratumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
