High-Throughput Dissociation and Orthotopic Implantation of Breast Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts

This protocol describes an efficient, non-surgical method for the orthotopic implantation of breast cancer patient-derived xenografts in mice. The technique involves enzymatic tumor dissociation followed by direct injection into the mammary fat pads, enabling high-throughput implantation. Comprehensive validation ensures model fidelity, facilitating rigorous studies across various breast cancer subtypes.
