Taconic Biosciences Expands Immuno-oncology Animal Model PortfolioCritical Jh Syngeneic Tumor Model Host Now Available on a B6 Background

The Pharma Data

Immuno-oncology is a leading research priority because it uses the body’s own immune system to effectively treat some types of cancer. Syngeneic tumor animal models play a critical role because they use standard inbred mice that have a competent immune system, which is required to evaluate immune-modulating therapies.
