Cancer immunotherapy in humanized PDX mouse models. Efficient and functional development of human immune cell lineages depends on the humanized mouse model. This also influences the composition of the TIME and the suitability of investigating different types of immunotherapies [14,18,83]. Abbreviations: ADCC, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity; ADCP, antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis; CTLA-4, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4; HIS, human immune system; KIT (also known as c-kit, CD117 or stem cell factor receptor); NK, natural killer; PD-1, programmed cell death protein 1; TAM, tumor-associated macrophage; TIME, tumor immune microenvironment; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
