Abstract
To study the effect of the immunologically unimpaired microenvironment on tumor progression as well as the efficacy of therapies requiring a functioning immune system, xenograft models are not suitable due to the use of immunodeficient mice. With orthotopic congenic transplantation of tumor cells into mammary tissue, we gain more control and reproducibility regarding tumor growth, while retaining a functioning immune response. Here, we provide a protocol for isolating primary tumor cells from the MMTV-PyMT mouse model and their use in developing an orthotopic mouse model of breast cancer.
