Murine Immuno-Oncology Models: A Head-to-Head Comparison Between Syngeneics and Tumor Homografts

Presenter: Dr. Toni Jun, Crown Bioscience

Syngeneics have been the mainstay model for surrogate immunotherapy evaluation as an easy-to-establish platform with well characterized driver mutations. Murine homograft models, which are developed from spontaneous tumors and never manipulated to grow in vitro, provide a novel alternative for immunotherapy testing with the presence of a relevant stroma, closer mutational load and tissue architecture to human tumors, and a wider range of available models.

In this webinar Dr. Jun will review the key features of syngeneics and murine tumor homograft models (the MuPrime™ platform). Dr. Jun will present a comparison between these immunocompetent murine models, discussing their strengths and limitations when applied to immunotherapy research.

Watch this webinar to learn how to:

• Choose between syngeneics and MuPrime murine tumor homograft models for immuno-oncology applications
• Take advantage of each model features and work around their limitations
• Utilize these models to predict patient response to immunotherapy
