We set out to generate new human myeloma tumors that grow in immunodeficient mice and can be used for pathophysiological studies and rapid evaluation of new therapies. Fresh whole core bone marrow (BM) biopsies taken from 33 myeloma patients were engrafted into the hind limb muscle of severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice.
