(A) Syngeneic tumor models involve the transplantation of in vitro cultured Syrian hamster cancer cells into immunocompetent Syrian hamsters. (B) Carcinogenic tumor models are induced by carcinogens, which allows tumors to undergo de novo formation. (C) Human xenograft tumor models utilize human cancer cells to inject into immunocompromised Syrian hamsters or the cheek pouches of immunocompetent Syrian hamsters. (D) Genetically engineered models are the application of genetic engineering techniques to modify hamster genes to induce cancer development. These extremely adaptable hamsters live in scrublands, sand dunes, farmlands, and desert steppes. These areas are very dry with little vegetation, so this hamster species burrows 6 feet under the ground for shelter. What Type Of Hamster Makes The Best Pet?

Turkish Hamster Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) belongs to the Cricitinae family of hamsters and is commonly known as the golden hamster. These animals originated in Syria and are naturally found in the arid, temperate southeast Europe and Asia Minor ( 5). Syrian hamsters currently used as laboratory animals originated from a litter captured in 1930 ( 5, 6). There is mounting evidence that the Syrian hamster is highly similar to humans in anatomy, physiology, and pathology ( 7– 9). Their similarity is especially valuable in terms of the similarity of pathophysiology, i.e the occurrence, development, symptoms, pathology, and outcomes of disease ( 10). Syrian hamsters have a short reproductive cycle, are docile, and are easy to raise and handle ( 8, 11).Despite its name, this hamster species is found in India, Nepal, and China in addition to Tibet. It prefers mountainous regions, living in altitudes of up to 17,100 feet. It’s part of the family Cricetidae, which is the second largest family of mammals. 10.

Chinese hamsters are very energetic, so this trait combined with their small size means that they aren’t easy to handle. They also require very large enclosures with plenty of room to run around. Cytokines were the first type of immunotherapy to be used in the clinic and have a history of over 40 years of clinical use. IFNα and IL-2 have been approved for the treatment of malignant tumors ( 97, 98). Cytokines are key mediators of cell-to-cell communication in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and dysregulation of cytokine expression is present in all human cancers ( 99). Cytokine therapy refers to the direct stimulation of immune cell growth and activity by injected cytokines. Former commonly used cytokines treatments involved mono-therapeutic use of interferons, interleukins, or granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) ( 3). However, studies have shown that, except for a few cancers, such as melanoma and renal cell carcinoma, single cytokine therapy in clinical trials is not satisfactory ( 99) and testing of multiple agents in suitable pre-clinical models is necessary for future application of cytokine therapy.Although hamsters share similar qualities, they do differ in how they behave to their appearance and more. Some hamsters are more playful but are difficult to handle while others are calmer and do better when being held. Another thing to consider is how they are housed. For example, the Syrian Hamster is a larger hamster that is territorial while the Dwarf Campbell Russian can live with others of the same sex.
