Syngeneic tumor models

  • 87 Syngeneic models (mouse, rat, hamster) covering 20 cancer types
  • Comprehensive panel of orthotopic syngeneic tumor models
  • Responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA-4, etc.)
  • Tumor-infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) map
  • WES, RNA-seq and scRNA-seq characterization
syngeneic, tumor models, checkpoint, TILs, RNA-seq, scRNA-seq
Orthotopic/metastasis models marked in red; models with reference drug treatment data marked as S; models with gene expression/mutation profiling data marked GC (cell-line profiled), GT (tumor tissue profiled), or GC/T (both)

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.

Established CDX/PDX-hPBMC Models

hPBMC, tumor models
*Target efficacy validation

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)
human immune checkpoint gene KI knock-in mouse models to study checkpoint antibodies

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
