Primary cell lines of tumor samples from clinical origin

Primary cell lines of tumor samples from clinical origin

Primary cell lines derived from clinical tumor samples have the characteristics of easy cultivation, stable passaging, and the ability to conduct functional studies. They also retain the initial DNA genetic information and pathological features of tumors well, especially for rare disease specimens with special pathogenic mechanisms and genetic backgrounds. The effective construction of primary cell lines can greatly promote preclinical disease mechanism research and drug discovery efficiency.

1、Overcoming Tumor Heterogeneity, Unlocking New Dimensions of Authentic Clinical Drug Efficacy Prediction

Traditional commercial cell lines struggle to mimic patient tumor heterogeneity, resulting in a disconnect between preclinical drug efficacy prediction and actual clinical response. Leveraging a Chinese primary tumor cell bank, Jennio Bio provides primary tumor cell line construction services that highly preserve patient-specific characteristics, helping pharmaceutical companies achieve precise alignment from in vitro screening to clinical translation and reduce R&D risks.

2、Service Overview

Positioning: Primary tumor cell lines are the core of preclinical drug screening, directly reflecting the biological characteristics and drug sensitivity of patient tumors.

Solution: Jennio Bio isolates and cultures primary cells from surgical/biopsy samples through standardized processes, preserving the gene expression profile, pathological features, and drug response characteristics of the original tumor, providing pharmaceutical companies with highly predictive in vitro drug sensitivity models.

Core Objectives

  • Stable Primary Cell Line Establishment: Complete primary cell line construction within 10–15 weeks, with stable passage for over 20 generations.
  • Enhanced Clinical Relevance: Cell STR identification (9-locus one-step method) + histopathological verification, ensuring >90% consistency between the model and the source tumor.

3、Our Services

  1. 1.Primary Tumor Cell Line Establishment
  • Sample Types: Surgically resected tissue, needle biopsy samples, pleural effusion and ascites, etc. (dry ice transportation, viable preservation solution ensures activity).
  • Technical Process:

Tissue dissociation → PDX expansion → Primary culture (CR technology) → Cell expansion → Cryopreservation.

  • Deliverables: P3–P5 cell lines (with STR identification report, cell morphology images, growth curve).
  • Featured Cancer Types: Covers high-incidence tumors including lung cancer (76% tumor formation rate), liver cancer (48%), colorectal cancer (77%), etc.
