  • Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) tumor models covering 20 cancer types, drug resistant model and mouse clinical trial enabling translational research
  • Syngeneic tumor models covering 20 cancer types, enabled with immunotherapy SOC, TIL analysis and RNAseq profiling.
  • Human immune checkpoint gene KI mouse models
  • hPBMC/HSC humanized models
  • Extensive panel of c-MET related CDX and PDX tumor models

Genetically engineered models

  • 48 engineered cell lines based on construct overexpression or gene knock-in
  • Pharmacologically validated both in vitro and in vivo
  • Focusing on drug-resistant mutation introduction and IO-related checkpoint humanization
  • Example targets: EGFR, ROS1, ALK, RET, FLT3, BTK, Claudin18.2, PD-L1

hPBMC/HSC Humanized Models

hPBMC Humanized Models

  • Established models for immune-checkpoint inhibitor and bi-specific antibody candidates in a human-resembling immune system.
  • Annotation for both immune cells (phenotyping, biomarker, functions) and tumor cells (expression, mutation)
  • Different PBMC delivery systems (systemic injection or co-inoculation with tumor)

HSC Humanized Models

  • Available humanized models from CIEA, combined with WuXi PDX/CDX models.
  • Customizable with human cytokine transgenic mice (GM-CSF/hIL-3 or hIL-2) to improve the reconstitution of myeloid lineage.

Human immune checkpoint gene KI mouse models

KI (Knock-in) mice offer the possibility to study clinical grade checkpoint antibodies targeting human checkpoints in the context of a fully functional immune system. WuXi Biology offers efficacy studies in different mouse strains with human targets KI in mice and cell line, and comprehensive flow cytometry to evaluate target expression and immune function.

  • Collection of various targets and background mouse strains
  • Validated with launched or most advanced clinical grade checkpoint antibodies
  • Double checkpoint KI mice customizable for combination (PD1 + OX40, PD1 + TIM3)

Immuno-avatar humanized models

  • Mouse models harboring human tumor and human immune ceils
  • Three different diagram of hPBMC humanization for mature T cell engraftment
  • HSC (CD34+) avatar and next generation immune avatar for multiple-lineage engraftment (Myeloid, NK, DC)
  • IO-CDX and IO-PDX models with cancer targets and HLA information
