Standard of Care sensibility: Rituximab = yes (30mg/kg).
Acquired resistance to: Rituximab
Raji cells
Human Raji cells were isolated from a juvenile patient with a Burkitt’s Lymphoma.
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 Raji 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 intra-medullar implantation.
