Changes in the Urinary Proteome in a Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) Nude Mouse Model of Colorectal Tumor

In this report, the urinary proteome from a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model was examined at the peptide level to study the origins of urinary proteins in tumor-bearing nude mice. Urine was collected from PDX mice before and after colorectal tumor implantation. A total of 4,318 unique peptides were identified, and 78 unambiguous human-origin peptides were discerned in the PDX model urine. Unlike the differential urinary protein composition...
