Evaluating Mouse Models for Tumor Xenograft Studies
For SPEM mouse models, 350 mg/kg of L635 (n = 3) or 350 mg/kg of DMP-777 (n = 3) was administered to female or male C57BL/6 mice at 8 weeks of age, as previously described, [27 (link), 28 (link)] This animal experiment followed protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) of Vanderbilt University. Female BALB/c nu/nu mice at 6–8 weeks of age (Orient Bio., Sungnam, Korea) were used to establish tumor xenograft models. For the tumorigenicity assay, we subcutaneously injected empty vector-transfected (n = 8) or stable miR-30a-overexpressing (n = 8) SNU-601 cells into the right flank of the mice; a total of 1 × 107 cells in 200 μl of medium was injected into each mouse. Tumor size was measured twice every week using callipers, and the tumor volume was calculated by length (L) × width (W) × height (H). On day 63, all mice were sacrificed, and the tumor mass was pathologically assessed by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. This animal experiment was approved by the IACUC of the Clinical Research Institute at Seoul National University Hospital [14–0183-C1A0(1)].

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
