FaDu cells

Human FaDU cells were isolated from pharynx of a patient with H&N squamous cells carcinoma.

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