BIOBANK.
Alv B biobanks tissues, primary patient cell cultures and established cell lines of diverse cancers in dogs.
This material will be used in research and for establishing new diagnostic methods.We make cell lines available to collaboration partners, as well as gradually making selected cell lines available to the research community for a fee. For more information on the biobank get in touch with our Biobank services.
Domesticated animal biobanks harbour immense potential for great scientific advances with broad societal impact. Canine and feline cancers are especially interesting for biobanking due to the similarity to their human counterparts and high translational value for human cancer immunotherapy.
CATEGORIES.
Tissues
We are biobanking normal canine and solid tumours from these.
Organoids
Organoids are prepared from canine and feline tumour tissues.
Primary patient cell cultures
We are biobanking early passages of canine and patient cell material such as normal cell cultures and diverse cancer cultures.
Cell lines
We are establishing normal and tumour cell lines that are characterised and can be used for research.
