Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) Models & Studies

JAX's PDX Capabilities

JAX - PDX Biospecimens

PDX Biospecimens

JAX is the premier provider of PDX frozen tumor fragments and FFPE slides for evaluating tumor structure and composition to best support your drug discovery research.

JAX - PDX & Mice Models

PDX & Mice Models

JAX offers a wide variety of PDX-Engrafted mice that can be purchased as a donor mouse with a tumor or in a cohort of newly passaged tumors intended for a study.

JAX - Preclinical Studies

Preclinical Studies

Don't have access to a vivarium? JAX offers tailored efficacy testing studies for preclinical drug development, potentially saving you months of pre-study preparation time.

PDX Models In JAX Preclinical Studies

Our In Vivo Preclinical Services offer preclinical studies using PDX models. PDX-engrafted mice provide a fast and cost-effective platform to simulate trials, evaluate multiple drugs alone or in combination, and generate predictive data.
