Improved culture methods for patient-derived tumor samples are critically important as the field moves away from the use of conventional cell lines. This protocol allows for the in vitro culture of patient-derived tumor cells in a platform that is

This protocol demonstrates methods to enable extended in vitro culture of patient-derived xenografts (PDX). One step enhances overall viability of multicellular cluster cultures in 3D hydrogels, through straightforward removal of non-viable single cells. A secondary step demonstrates best practices for PDX culture in a perfused microfluidic platform.
