【资料】肿瘤动物模型综述Animal models of tumor immunity, immunotherapy and cancer vaccines
本人认为,对于研究肿瘤发生机理、肿瘤免疫逃避来说,上述肿瘤模型可能有更大的优势,但对于肿瘤免疫治疗模型来说,肿瘤移植模型更加单纯,更容易说明问题及阐明抗肿瘤免疫应答的机理。
原文题目: Animal models of tumor immunity, immunotherapy and cancer vaccines

Reliable animal models are critical for evaluating immunotherapies and for defining tumor immunology paradigms. Tumor immunologists are moving away from traditional transplantation tumor systems because they do not adequately model human malignancies. Transgenic mouse models in which tumors arise spontaneously have been developed for most cancers. The models use one of three technologies: tissue-specific promoters to drive expression of SV40 large T antigen or tissue-specific oncogenes; deletion of tumor suppressor genes by gene targeting; or, conditional deletion of tumor suppressor genes or activation of oncogenes via Cre-lox technology. Knockin mice expressing human tumor antigens and gene-targeted mice with deletions for immunologically relevant molecules have been integral to advancing knowledge of the tumor–host relationship. Although animal models are becoming more sophisticated, additional improvements are needed so that more realistic models can be developed.
