2
Animal and cell preparation
1 weekOrder appropriate strain and quarantine/adapt, or prepare tumor cells/genetically modified animals
💡 Tip Immunodeficient mice for xenograft
⚠️ Caution Confirm viability and condition

3
Model induction
1–6 weeksEstablish xenografts by subcutaneous/orthotopic injection, or perform injection/induction/genetic manipulation
💡 Tip Optimize site and cell number
⚠️ Caution Follow ethical standards

4
Model validation
1–2 weeksMonitor tumor growth, pathology or phenotype to confirm model establishment
💡 Tip Integrate multiple readouts
⚠️ Caution Record pathology and fidelity

⚠️ 5 Common Beginner Mistakes
- ① Model doesn't fit clinical question
- ② Xenograft rejection/graft failure
- ③ Poor induction incomplete model
- ④ Low cell viability poor engraftment
- ⑤ Unvalidated model biases results
❓ FAQ
+Xenograft vs transgenic model?
Xenograft uses human tumor cells for fast tumor modeling; transgenic simulates genetic disease long-term.
+Subcutaneous vs orthotopic?
Subcutaneous easy to measure/handle; orthotopic closer to microenvironment but harder.
+How to confirm model success?
Confirm with tumor growth curves, histopathology and characteristic biochemical/phenotype markers.
