RESUMEN
Objectives: To establish melanoma models of B16 cell line in ICR mice. Methods: Inoculating B16 Melanoma cells in ICR mice's feet, back, abdomen and caudal vein, to establish transplanted and metastatic melanoma models. We observed the morphologic characteristics and examined the pathological parameters of melanoma. We analyzed the relations between the number of B16 cells inoculated and the genesis of tumors, the influence of tumor growth on mice's behavior,and growth curve of the melanoma. Results:Six days later, sesamoid, linear and nodal even kaulifloweroid melanoma were seen gradually in ICR mice's feet, back, abdomen and lung (anatomid) after inoculating. The bearing tumor rates have a positive relation to the number of inoculated B16 cells. The rates of bearing tumor was near 100%, after inoculating with 5?10 6 B16 cells. Conclusions: The B16 melanoma cell line derived from C57/B16 mice(black ) has high rates of bearing tumor in ICR mice (white). The B16 melanoma models in ICR mice are ideal tumor models that have the characteristics of easy established,easy observing and easy obtaining.
