Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a difficult to treat B cell disorder and it is equally difficult to establish a xenograft mouse model of primary MCL to study and develop therapeutics. Here, we describe the successful establishment of MCL xenografts in mice to help understand its underlying biology.

We describe an in vivo fluorescence imaging protocol to monitor muscle regeneration by GFP-labeled myoblasts after transplantation into skeletal muscles of both healthy and dystrophic mice. This protocol can be adapted to study muscle regeneration by transplantation of other types of cells and in other muscular conditions as well.

FAQs
Revascularization is a key indicator of whether implanted tissue can receive the blood supply needed to remain viable and restore function. Researchers therefore examine blood flow alongside cellular viability rather than treating anatomical attachment as sufficient evidence of success. Poor vascular integration can help explain reduced tissue survival, impaired organ performance, or eventual graft failure.
The recipient’s immune system may recognize molecular features on donor cells, called donor antigens, as unfamiliar. This recognition can initiate immune responses that damage the graft and interfere with its continued function. Measuring these responses allows researchers to relate immune activity to tissue viability, organ performance, and the likelihood of successful engraftment.
Anatomical integration shows that the graft has established physical connections with recipient tissues, but it does not by itself demonstrate effective performance. A broader assessment combines structural examination with blood flow, cellular viability, immune responses, and organ function. Comparing these measures helps identify grafts that appear integrated yet remain physiologically compromised.
Tumors, cancer treatments, and altered immune states can influence whether transplanted tissue survives, regenerates, or interacts normally with the recipient. These conditions may change immune responses or organ performance, making engraftment outcomes different from those in an unaltered setting. Studying such variables helps connect transplantation biology with mechanisms relevant to cancer research.
A study begins with implantation of the organ or tissue into a recipient, followed by evaluation of its integration and performance. Researchers examine blood flow, cellular viability, immune responses, and organ function, while also considering evidence of graft failure. Using several assessment categories provides a more complete outcome than relying on a single observation.
These studies are useful when researchers need to examine how tumors, cancer treatments, or altered immune conditions affect tissue survival and regeneration. They can also support investigation of graft failure by linking structural integration with immune and functional outcomes. This makes engraftment analysis a model for studying interactions among transplanted tissue, host biology, and disease-related changes.
