Establishment of An Orthotopic Prostate Cancer Xenograft Mouse Model Using Microscope-Guided Orthotopic Injection of LNCaP Cells Into The Dorsal Lobe of The Mouse Prostate
Abstract:Background: Orthotopic LNCaP xenograft mouse models closely mimic the progression of androgen-dependent prostate cancer in humans; however, orthotopic injection of LNCaP cells into the mouse prostate remains a challenge.Methods: Under the guidance of a stereoscopic microscope, the anatomy of the individual prostate lobes in male Balb/c athymic nude mice was investigated, and LNCaP cells were inoculated into the mouse dorsal prostate (DP) to generate orthotopic tumors that mimicked the pathophysiological proces… Show more
