Establishment of Human Colon Cancer Cell Lines from Fresh Tumors versus Xenografts: Comparison of Success Rate and Cell Line Features
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Obtaining representative human colon cancer cell lines from fresh tumors is technically difficult. Using 32 tumor fragments from patients with colon cancer, the present study shows that prior xenograft leads to more efficient cell line establishment compared with direct establishment from fresh tumors (P < 0.05). From 26 tumor specimens, we successfully established 20 tumor xenografts in nude mice (77%); among 19...
