A Xenotransplant Model of Human Brain Tumors in Wild-Type Mice

Summary: The development of adequate model systems to study human malignancies is crucial for basic and preclinical research. Here, we exploit the “immune-privileged” developmental time window to achieve orthotopic xenotransplantation of human brain tumor cells in wild-type (WT) mice. We find that,...
