The new anti-tumor weapon PDX model helps the development of new immune cancer drugs

 On April 22, 2020, Dr. Chunlin Chen, founder and CEO of Medicilon, delivered a special lecture entitled “Application of Translational Medicine (PDX Model) in the Research and Development of New Immune Cancer Drugs”  Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University . The medical staff and medical students of the company shared the construction of the PDX mouse model in the context of tumor treatment and how it promotes the development of individualized tumor treatment and how to serve Chinese cancer patients.

        Medicilon's PDX Model

Now, Medicilon have the PDX models covering colon cancer,lung cancer,gastric cancer,breast cancer,liver cancer,pancreas cancer. Our research on PDX model includes molecular level genotyping and pharmacological efficacy evaluation service of orthotopic model, promising great prediction for clinical efficacy research.

Medicilon now has nearly ten PDX tumor efficacy models such as gastric cancer and colon cancer, and is committed to accurate drug efficacy evaluation. In the future, the company will focus on improving the highly humanized mouse disease model biobank, providing modern precision medicine with animal models that are highly compatible with human disease characteristics, and developing the most ideal humanized mouse model.

In recent years, with the advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology and targeted therapies, tumor diseases have made breakthrough progress in basic research, translational medicine and clinical research, but many traditional and new therapies for tumors have not brought patients Better prognosis, the failure rate of clinical translational research makes the innovation and development of anti-tumor drugs very limited. The human tumor tissue xenograft model (PDX) is a tumor model established on immunodeficient mice directly from tumor tissues of tumor patients. Because it maintains the tissue structure, morphology, and molecular biological characteristics of clinical tumor tissues, it is more and more widely used in preclinical drug efficacy evaluation and identification of potential biomarkers. It has become a major boost in tumor treatment and has become Hot spots of industry research.

What is preclinical testing?

In the process of  preclinical testing  of a compound or biological agent into a drug, the compound involved must go through the testing phase. First, we need to identify potential targets that can treat the disease. Then, a variety of compounds or preparations are screened out. Any compound that has shown potential as a drug for the treatment of this disease needs to be tested for toxicity before clinical testing to reduce the possibility of injury. preclinical testing What is the basis of preclinical testing? According to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, a series of tests are required before a new drug is approved for use. In the first stage, basic research determines a hypothetical target for the treatment of a certain disease, and then screens small molecules or biological compounds to discover any substance with the potential to treat the disease. Then, a  preclinical research  phase followed, before which, as described above, the potential tox...

Inventory of the three major in vitro pharmacokinetic research methods

  The metabolic properties of a compound are an essential factor in whether or not it can be used as a drug in the clinical setting, so pharmacokinetic studies of newly synthesized compounds are required in drug development. In vitro incubation with liver microsomes, recombinant CYP450 enzyme lines, and in vitro incubation with hepatocytes are some of the more common in vitro drug metabolism methods. 1. In vitro incubation method with liver microsomes The metabolic stability and metabolic phenotypes of candidate compounds in different species of liver microsomes are good predictors of the metabolic properties of compounds in vivo. They are practical tools for evaluating candidate compounds in the pre-development phase of drug development. Liver microsomes include rat liver microsomes, human liver microsomes, canine liver microsomes, monkey liver microsomes, and mouse liver microsomes. In in vitro incubation of the liver, microsomes are the "gold standard" for in vitro d...

Enzyme Activity Assay Service

  Enzymatic assay Lance Assay Alphascreen Assay Z’-LYTE Assay Adapta Assay Kinase-Glo Assay ADP-Glo Assay Ligand Binding Assay ELISA Assay HTRF Assay Enzyme activity assays  are laboratory methods for measuring enzymatic activity. They are vital for the study of enzyme kinetics and enzyme inhibition. Enzyme units : Amounts of enzymes can either be expressed as molar amounts, as with any other chemical, or measured in terms of activity, in enzyme units. Medicilon provides various  enzyme activity assays  for  kinases , phosphatases, proteinases, deacetylase, peptidase, esterase, and other enzymes. Our line of well-characterized immunoassays and biochemical kits ensures accurate and reproducible results. Enzyme is a  large category of bio-molecules  that catalyze various biological processes including metabolic processes, cellular signaling and regulation, cell division and apoptosis. Enzymatic reactions convert substrate molecules into chemically modifi...
