The invention provides a method for constructing a synovial sarcoma xenograft mouse model with sound immunity. The method comprises the steps of culture of a P0 generation, wherein firstly, fresh tumor tissue masses of a patient with a synovial sarcoma are collected and then transplanted into the body of a mouse with immune deficiency under a sterile condition; a mouse with normal immunity is subjected to ciclosporin pretreatment; culture of Px generations, wherein tumor tissue masses growing in the body of a mouse of any generation from P0-P<x-1> are taken to be inoculated into the body of amouse subjected to the ciclosporin pretreatment to form a Px-generation mouse; culture of Py generations, wherein synovial sarcoma tumor tissue masses growing in the body of a mouse of any generationfrom Px-P<y-1> are taken to be inoculated into the body of the mouse with the normal immunity until tumor tissue grows in the body of the mouse with the normal immunity, and the culture of the Py generations is completed.
