摘要:
Provided is a mosaic mouse model for use in determining the potency of an shRNA in vivo for reducing survival of cancer cells of chemotherapy-resistant leukemia. The syngeneic mouse recipient is transplanted with tet-on competent leukemia cells carrying a bicistronic nucleic acid construct comprising a promoter operably linked to a fusion gene associated with chemotherapy-resistant leukemia, and a sequence encoding a reverse tet-transactivator protein, such that both coding sequences are co-expressed from the promoter. Also provided are methods of treating soft tissue cancers.
