Development of an integrated in vitro and in vivo OVA-specific system for cancer vaccine discovery
We have established an advanced and integrated in vitro and in vivo platform for various types of cancer vaccines, including peptide vaccines, mRNA vaccines, DC vaccines and more. Ovalbumin (OVA) is a key model antigen which has been widely used in vaccination experiments. Here we established an OVA overexpressed system based on different types of …Read More >
Mouse hind limb tumor metastatic model to evaluate prophylaxis and treatment
We have established and optimized a robust tumor bone metastasis mouse model, which recapitulates the tumor metastasis progression from circulation to bone colonization, and provides a window for evaluating prophylaxis and treatment. Specifically, we inoculated two breast cancer cell lines, JIMT-1 and MDA-MB-231, each with high metastatic potential, into the mouse intra-caudal artery. By detection …Read More >
Evaluating cancer therapies combining radiotherapy with immunotherapy or inhibitors of the DNA damage response
Ionizing radiation has largely been recognized as a local targeted therapy by a variety of mechanisms, including inducing direct DNA damage of cancerous tissue or contributing to systemic antitumor immunity. The capacity of cancer cells to recognize DNA damages and initiate repair plays a major role in radio-resistance. Furthermore, the irradiated tumor cell death can …Read More >
Evaluation of the efficacy of ADC in vitro and in vivo
Abstract Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are promising complexes with therapeutic potential that aimed to the treatment of solid tumor and hematological malignancies. Compared with the therapeutic monoclonal antibody, an ADC-derived monoclonal antibody is conjugated with cytotoxic agents (payloads) which can deliver potent cellular toxins to targeted cancer cells specifically. We have established a state-of-the-art platform …Read More >

WuXi Biology GPCR Cell Lines and Assays
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest and most diverse group of membrane receptors in eukaryotes and play a pivotal role in signaling pathways, making these transmembrane proteins an important drug target class. In recent years, GPCR drug discovery has moved from random ligand screening towards structure-based drug design. WuXi Biology has developed an integrated GPCR …Read More >
