PDXs, ending in an “x”, are patient direct and have never been in vitro. Xenografts ending in “m” are established from a cell line.

PDXs in our Childhood Cancer Repository which can be found in the CCDI PIVOT data are marked with a dbGaP info icon in the table below.
1 - Phase of therapy for the patient at the time the specimen used to derive the cell line was obtained
Dx (Diagnosis): cell lines derived from samples of patients prior to treatment
PD (Progressive Disease): cell lines derived from samples of patients who relapsed after chemotherapy
PD-BMT: cell lines derived from samples of patients who relapsed after chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation
PD-PM: cell lines derived from samples of post-mortem patients who relapsed after chemotherapy
BM- Bone Marrow
