Abstrakt: The use of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) in cancer research is increasing due to their ability to closely mimic the features of patient tumors. The ability to quickly and robustly measure protein expression levels in these tissues is a key methodology required in a broad range of experimental designs. Western blotting (WB) is a cost effective and simple tool that is highly specific and sensitive for detecting and quantifying individual proteins, posttranslational modifications and aberrant signaling pathways. Here, we described a method to assess protein expression in PDX tissues using WB to detect proteins involved in cell growth signaling pathways.
