Ex vivo culture system for screening compounds targeting leukaemia-initiating cells

A novel, ex vivo niche-based hypoxic culture system for maintaining Leukaemia Initiating Cells (LICs) from patients and an associated method to quantify their dynamics.

Interest / Relevance: The system and method permit efficient screening of compounds targeting leukaemia-initiating cells more quickly and affordable than the xenotransplantation assay in immunodeficient NSG mice. The approach also allows the analysis of effects/toxicity of compounds on normal hematopoïetic stem cells.
