Anticancer, Inc.


Preclinical contract research organization focused on oncology model development and preclinical testing. Core competencies include development and maintenance of patient-derived and orthotopic tumor models, multicolor fluorescent-protein–labeled cell lines and transgenic animal hosts for non-invasive and intravital imaging, sponge-supported three-dimensional explant (histoculture) assays for drug-response testing with documented clinical correlations, recombinant enzyme expression and formulation including PEG conjugation studies, enzyme-based diagnostic assays, and preclinical evaluation of tumor-targeting bacteria and fluorescence-guided surgical approaches. The organization maintains an extensive peer-reviewed publication record describing methods, validation studies and clinical correlations.

Products

Multicolor fluorescent-protein–expressing transgenic animals

Transgenic animal strains with tissue-linked or ubiquitous multicolor fluorescent-protein expression supplied for imaging tumor–host interactions and angiogenesis studies.

Fluorescent-protein–expressing cancer cell lines

Catalog of cancer cell lines stably expressing fluorescent proteins for implantation, intravital imaging and ex vivo studies.

Recombinant enzymes for preclinical research

Recombinant enzymes for preclinical studies of metabolic-dependency strategies, available in research quantities and evaluated in combination-treatment and PEGylation studies.

HDRA-compatible sponge-matrix materials and service

Sponge-matrix histoculture materials and laboratory service to culture patient tumor fragments for ex vivo drug-sensitivity testing and image-based endpoints.


Services
