Target Cell Background
SNU-5 was line derived in 1987 by J. Park and associates from ascites of a patient with poorly differentiated carcinoma of the stomach. The patient had previously received chemotherapy including 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and mitomycin-C. Derived from metastatic site, ascites

Short Description
SNU-5-cell based In Vivo Tumorigenesis Assay
Assay Description
Tumorigenicity is defined the property of a cell to form tumors when inoculated into an immunosuppressed animal model. Generally, test cells and tumor cells as positive control are administered subcutaneously into immunosuppressed nude mice. The number of animals developing tumors are compared with a positive control reference cell line.
