B16F10 In Vivo Metastasis Assay

This assay is to provide B16F10-based In Vivo Metastasis Assay to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

B16F10

Mouse

B16F10 cell line (from Mus musculus C57BL/6J strain) is a convenient and widely used experimental model of highly metastatic melanoma to study cytotoxicity, migration, metastatic spread and tissue invasion. B16-F10 is a cell line exhibiting a morphology of spindle-shaped and epithelial-like cells that was isolated from skin tissue of a mouse with melanoma. Use these cells in your skin cancer research.

In Vivo Metastasis Assay

B16F10-cell based In Vivo Metastasis Assay

Metastasis is defined as the formation of tumors that are discontinuous from the primary tumor. These secondary tumors can be at nearby or distant sites and can form, following the dissemination of cells via lymphatic, hematogenous, coelomic cavities, or epithelial cavities. Metastasis is not equivalent to invasion, adhesion, growth rate, susceptibility to immune cell killing, or any of the many steps in the metastatic cascade. These processes are necessary for successful colonization of the secondary sites, but they are not sufficient for a cell to be metastatic. Analysis of tumor growth and metastasis of human cancers requires the use of immunodeficient animals. Please contact us to learn more and offer the best-fit proposals for your program.
