MEC-1 cells
Human MEC-1 cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of a patient with B-CLL
Tumour growth in vivo
The cells were collected from a tissue culture flask and injected subcutaneously in the right flank of SCID-CB17 mice. The resulting tumours were monitored by measuring two diameters with calipers, and extrapolating the volume to a sphere.
The mice bearing MEC-1 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible

Antineo can also perform an IV implantation, using hCD45 Flow Cytometry as follow-up of tumour progression.
