The CT26-hCD39-LZ clonal cell line expresses high levels of a human/mouse chimeric CD39, and forms solid tumors in vivo. An optimized version of a luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) fusion protein is also stably expressed for in vivo imaging and ex vivo tracking.
This cell line can be used in syngeneic models with our huCD39 mouse model.
Expression analysis by flow cytometry. Chimeric CD39 is detected with anti-human CD39 (Biolegend clone A1).
hCD39 Balb/c mice were injected (s.c.) with 1x106 CT26-chimCD39-LZ cells. Tumor growth was measured every 2 to 3 days. Tumor size (mm3) = (width2 x length)/2.
