| Summary |
This detailed volume presents a variety of mouse models for cancer studies, from leukemia and lymphoma models to different types of subcutaneous and orthotopic models. Models for the healing process and the assessment of the immune response after local ablative therapies are also included, as well as imaging techniques that allow for the visualization of cancer at the cellular and tissue level. The book closes with a detailed description of necropsy, which is essential for obtaining good biomaterial for translational research. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Mouse Models of Cancer: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide to these controlled and reproducible model experimental systems to study different aspects of cancer biology, including prevention, development, progression, and treatment |
