Human Immune System Mice

HUMAN iMMUNE SYSTEM MICE

huHSC-NCG

Type : CD34+ Humanized Mice
Strain Number: T037620
Background Strain: NCG [T001475]

STRAIN DESCRIPTION

HuHSC-NCG Mice (as known as CD34+ humanized mice) are NCG [T001475] mice engrafted with cord blood human CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem cells (CD34+ HSC). These models allow for the long-term reconstitution of a functional human hematopoietic and immune system in mouse. This makes them an essential tool in Immuno-oncology, immunology, infectious disease and autoimmune disease investigation.

Features of HuHSC-NCG

1.Functional human Immune cell subsets (T, B, NK, myeloid)

2.Minimal 20% hCD45  in peripheral blood

3.Stable engraftment and long Lifespan > 39 weeks

4.Customizable :

  • huHSC-NCG-hIL15  for NK-T interaction and NK cell-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assessment
  • huHSC-NCG-M  for T-cell and Myeloid dependent Efficacy studies
  • HLA partially matching for cells and tissue transplantation
APPLICATIONS

Oncology and
Immuno-oncology

Immunology & Inflammation

Infectious Diseases

Safety Assessment
e.g CAR-T induced Cytokine Storm

Autoimmune Diseases

GENERATION OF huHSC-NCG HUMANIZED MICE

The huHSC-NCG mouse model is generated by transplanting purified human CD34⁺ hematopoietic stem cells derived from cord blood into severely immunodeficient NCG, NCG-hIL15 or NCG-M mice. Prior to transplantation, mice are preconditioned with sublethal irradiation to clear native hematopoietic cells and improve engraftment efficiency. CD34⁺ cells are injected intravenously. Over 8–12 weeks, the mice develop a functional human immune system with multilineage reconstitution, including human T, B, NK cells, and myeloid populations.
