Patient-derived tumor immune microenvironments in patient-derived xenografts of lung cancer
Abstract Background Because patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are grown in immunodeficient mouse strains, PDXs are regarded as lacking an immune microenvironment. However, whether patients’ immune cells co-exist in PDXs remains uncharacterized. Methods We cultured small pieces of lung PDX tissue in...
