The invention provides methods of introducing heterologous cells into fish. After introduction cells remain viable, and in some instances proliferate, for sufficient time to conduct a variety of analyses on the heterologous cells or the fish or both. Such methods are useful for screening potential drugs for toxicity toward introduced cells or for capacity to stimulate differentiation and/or proliferation of introduced cells. Such methods are also useful for diagnosing the presence of small quantities of cancerous cells or pathogens in patient tissue samples. Such methods are also useful for culturing cells for subsequent use in cell or tissue engineering.

L'invention concerne des méthodes d'introduction de cellules hétérologues chez des poissons. Après leur introduction, les cellules restent viables et dans certains cas prolifèrent pendant une période suffisante pour mener diverses analyses sur les cellules hétérologues ou les poissons, ou les deux. Ces méthodes sont utiles pour passer au crible des produits médicamenteux présentant une toxicité potentielle envers les cellules introduites, ou une capacité potentielle à stimuler la différentiation et/ou la prolifération des cellules implantées. Ces méthodes sont également utiles pour diagnostiquer, dans des échantillons tissulaires du patient, la présence de faibles quantités de cellules cancéreuses ou d'agents pathogènes, ou encore pour mettre en culture des cellules dans le but d'effectuer des opérations de génie cellulaire ou tissulaire.
