| abstractText | Genetically engineered mice along with allograft and xenograft models can be used to effectively model triple negative breast cancer both for studies of pathophysiology as well as preclinical prevention and therapeutic drug studies. In this review eight distinct genetically engineered mouse models of BRCA1 deficiency are discussed in relationship to the generation of triple negative mammary cancer. Allograft models derived from some of these genetically engineered mice are considered and xenograft models derived from breast cancers that developed from BRCA1 mutation are presented. Examples of the use of genetically engineered, allograft and xenografts models for preventive and therapeutic studies are presented. |
