In Vivo Selection and Characterization of Metastatic Variants from Human Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma by Using Orthotopic Implantation in Nude Mice

We determined whether the implantation of human pancreatic cancer cells into the pancreas of nude mice can be used to select variants with increasing metastatic potential. COLO 357 line fast-growing cells were injected into the spleen or pancreas of nude mice. Hepatic metastases were harvested, and...
