The animal bump xenograft archetypal is accustomed industry-wide as a gold accepted for assessing the achievement of new and arising drugs to amusement cancer. The archetypal is declared here:

Briefly, a awful advancing animal breast blight was crude subcutaneoulsy into almsman animals. The animals were advised alert per anniversary for 6 weeks with either BT2111, Herceptin(R) or a placebo. Each anniversary the bump volumes were measured. In the placebo ascendancy animals, the tumors added in admeasurement by 400% over baseline. In both the BT2111 and Herceptin(R) advised groups, the bump advance was absolutely halted.
