Humanized Patient-Derived Xenograft Models of Ovarian Cancer
In vivo modeling of cancer is a critical step in testing novel therapeutic strategies to advance patient care. Here we describe how to develop a humanized patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of ovarian cancer that uses orthotopically transplanted patient ovarian tumors with autologous transfer of expanded tumor infiltrating T cells (TILs) as a model that can be utilized to test immunomodulating therapeutics in vivo.
