Abstract

Patient tumor tissue processing is an important step in the generation of clinically relevant specimens for in vitro and in vivo studies. Proper disassociation and tissue sample cleanup is a multistep, time-consuming process that ultimately effects the generation of patient derived xenografts and neurosphere cultures. Here we describe a detailed protocol on how to process and disassociate patient glioma tissue and subsequent steps on orthotopic implantation and in vitro generation of neurospheres.
