Model characterization
Matched tissue and PDO morphology, together with ER and Ki67 profiling, characterize tissue, receptor and proliferation features to guide model selection for candidate efficacy studies.
View imageReceptor and proliferation features: ER labels estrogen-receptor-associated signal, Ki67 labels proliferating cells and DAPI labels nuclei.
Model & assay data
View imageSource tissue and PDO: source-tissue H&E, PDO bright-field and PDO histology are viewed together to assess morphological correspondence in this model.
Model & assay dataStudy planning
Tumor type, sample condition, candidate and intended comparison guide the culture format, controls and assays.
Tumor type, collection site, sample condition, expected timing and available ethics documentation.
Modality, dosing plan, controls and the response or comparison the study should address.
Planned histology, flow, molecular or functional assays, together with preferred data and report formats.
Study design
Molecular subtype, sampling site and prior treatment directly shape breast PDO studies. Study design integrates source-tissue context, receptor phenotype, model identity and culture quality, and drug mechanism.
Review ER, PR and HER2 context, primary or metastatic site, sampling method and prior treatment to define the decision.
Choose around candidate mechanism, required cellular context, spatial information and endpoints; the two systems can also be used sequentially or in parallel.
Set dose, timing, positive/negative controls and combinations around small molecules, antibodies, ADCs or immunotherapies.
Compare candidates using receptor and proliferation markers, histology, viability, cytokines or flow in context.
Research applications
Assays & QC
QC combines tissue morphology, receptor/proliferation markers and project-relevant functional readouts.
Study & delivery
Choose model establishment, expansion or a TRiCBIO-run efficacy study. Typical deliverables include raw data and an analysis report.
Sample and batch QC confirm model establishment, receptor phenotype and immune components, guiding the next study design.
