Standard of Care sensibility: Anti-PD1 = partial / Anti-PDL1 = no (12.5mg/kg).

Mammary Gland

Syngeneic breast cancer tumour model – 4T1

4T1 cells

Mouse 4T1 cells were isolated from the spontaneous tumour in the mammary gland of a BALB/C mouse with the animal equivalent of a stage IV breast cancer.

Tumour growth in vivo

The cells were collected from a tissue culture flask and injected subcutaneously in the right flank of BALB/C mice. The resulting tumours were monitored by measuring two diameters with calipers, and extrapolating the volume to a sphere.

The mice bearing 4T1 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
