SNU-5 cells
Human SNU-5 cells were isolated from the stomach of a patient with gastric 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 SNU-5 tumours can be treated by intra-peritoneal, intra-venous, intra-tumoral or subcutaneous injection of the compounds. Per os administration is also possible.
