  • Description: MB49-luc is an aggressive, bioluminescent orthotopic bladder cancer model stably expressing luciferase, derived from the well-established MB49 cell line. The bioluminescence can be detected by in vivo imaging and offers a readout for tumour take, growth and reduction. Similarly to its parental cell line MB49 (Cat. #: 153368), it forms tumours when injected subcutaneously or orthotopically into mouse bladders. Specifically, the orthotopic intravesical bladder tumour model based on MB49-luc offers a system to study immune-related factors involved in non-muscle invasive, non-metastatic bladder tumour growth, including anti-tumour effects of treatments such as immune checkpoint inhibitors. It also provides a bladder cancer model to study mechanisms of immunotherapy non-responders, to help identifying effective immune-based combination therapies and PD-L1 function within a tumour microenvironment devoid of T cells.
  • Application: In vitro and in vivo model of bladder cancer; In vivo tumour imaging
  • Production details: Parental MB49 cells transfected with a pSELECT-zeo-LucSh plasmid using Lipofectamine (InvivoGen) for luciferase expression detected by in vivo imaging
  • Biosafety level: 1

Target Details

  • Target: PD-1, the programmed death-1 receptor
  • Target background: The programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor is a checkpoint inhibitor, that interacts with distinct ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1, CD274). PD-L1 is expressed on a wide variety of human and mouse tumour cells and some immune cell populations

Applications

  • Application: In vitro and in vivo model of bladder cancer; In vivo tumour imaging
  • Application notes: Identification host antitumor immune mechanisms and evaluation combinations of immune-based therapies for carcinoma in situ and non–muscle invasive, non-metastatic urothelial carcinoma
