Core Tip |
Xenograft cell transplantation into immune-deficient mice has become the gold standard for assessing tumor progression and efficacy of cancer drugs. However, xenografting human pancreatic cancer (PC) models in nude mice rarely results in development of metastasis and thus does not accurately reflect tumor progression as seen in the human disease. Here we created a new immuno-deficient Syrian hamster with interleukin 2 receptor subunit gamma (IL2RG) gene knockout and demonstrated that the IL2RG-/- Syrian hamster is a promising animal model that can faithfully recapitulate most features of human PC, especially the multiple sites of metastasis. Furthermore, this model can present other key features of human PC, such as stromal reaction and the communication between stromal cells and PC cells. |
