This assay is to provide Hep 3B-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.

Hep 3B

Human

Hep 3B is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from liver tissue derived from an 8-year-old, Black youth with liver cancer. This cell line contains an integrated hepatitis B virus genome.

In Vivo Metastasis Assay

Hep 3B-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.
