Preferred Label : Mouse Renal Adenocarcinoma Cell-Encapsulated Agarose-Agarose Macrobeads;
NCIt synonyms : RENCA Macrobead;
NCIt definition : An agarose matrix containing mouse renal adenocarcinoma (RENCA) cells, with potential
antineoplastic activity. The agarose-agarose macrobeads consist of two spherical agarose
layers; the mouse RENCA cells are contained within the inner agarose layer. Upon placement
into the abdominal cavity, the restricted mouse renal adenocarcinoma cells in the
agarose macrobeads produce and release certain growth-retarding factors that inhibit
the proliferation of the RENCA cells; Upon diffusion of these growth-slowing factors
out of the agarose layers, these substances may inhibit cancer cell proliferation
of proliferating tumors.;
