For cancer research, while many mouse models exist to simulate the response of the cancer to a particular drug, all of the current models have some limitations in their ability to fully predict the concomitant physiological or immunological response that might result when the drug progresses to clinical trials. This is problematic both in models in which the cancer spontaneously develops in the animal as well as models in which cancerous cells or tumors, i.e., allografts (derived from cells of the same organism) or xenografts (derived from cells of different organism, usually humans), are transplanted into an otherwise cancerfree animal. To address these issues, researchers at NCI developed a means of more closely simulating in mouse models both melanoma cancer itself and the resulting physiological and immunological response by creating a genetically engineered mice (GEM)-derived allograft (GDA). This allograft both resembles human-like melanoma and has features that will stimulate a normal immunological response in the mouse. Thus, when transplanted into a host, the resulting tumor-containing mouse may be used to test conventional cancer therapies (e.g., chemotherapy and radiotherapy), targeted drugs (e.g., kinase inhibitors), and immunotherapies with an expectation that the response in the mouse will more closely mimic the types of responses expected in humans if the therapy progresses to clinical trials. Further this melanoma-based GDA approach may represent a new standard for building or improving preclinical models of other types of cancer. Potential Commercial Applications: • This is a novel mouse allograft model that provides a preclinical model of human-like advanced-stage melanoma. • This allograft model may be useful for preclinical testing of conventional therapies, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies. Value Proposition: • Hgf-tg;Cdk4R24C C57BL/6 mousederived melanoma allograft with humanized pathogenetics allows adoption of clinically relevant procedures and endpoints, facilitating clinical translation. • Features a constitutively activated MET/MAPK pathway and disrupted CDKN2A pathway. • Expresses typical diagnostic markers of human melanoma such as DCT and TRP1.
