"Humanized mice" refer to mouse models that carry functional human genes, cells, tissues, or organs/immune systems and can be used for biomedical research and the development of clinical treatment strategies. One notable category within this field is the creation of mice with humanized immune systems, often referred to as humanized immune system mice. These models are developed by transplanting human hematopoietic stem cells, immune cells, or tissues into immunodeficient mice, resulting in a unique mouse model with human immune functionality.
Humanized immune system mice are classified into three distinct categories based on the methodology employed for immune system reconstruction:
Prominent examples of humanized immune system mouse models include humanized PBMC (huPBMC) mice and humanized HSC (huHSC) mice. Cyagen’s NKG immunodeficient mice offer versatility, accommodating transplantation with either PBMCs or HSCs to construct highly effective human immune system mouse models.
This innovative approach facilitates a more accurate simulation of the human immune response, providing exceptional models for preclinical research across various areas, including tumor immunology, autoimmune diseases, and specific infectious diseases.
