Injection of human neuroblastoma cells into neural crest streams in live zebrafish embryos

Cancer cell behavior is highly microenvironment dependent, but we have a limited understanding of malignant cell-microenvironment interactions in vivo. Here, we describe a protocol for xenotransplanting human neuroblastoma (NB) cells into streams of migrating neural crest stem cells in zebrafish emb...

Sumario:Cancer cell behavior is highly microenvironment dependent, but we have a limited understanding of malignant cell-microenvironment interactions in vivo. Here, we describe a protocol for xenotransplanting human neuroblastoma (NB) cells into streams of migrating neural crest stem cells in zebrafish embryos, followed by confocal time-lapse imaging and cell tracking. This high-resolution model system facilitates the quantitative spatiotemporal analysis of cancer cell-cell and cell-environment interactions. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Treffy et al. (2021).
