The potential strategies to improve humanized mouse model

Strategies Targets/purposes Refs
Recipient mouse selection NOD/SCID/γcnull mice or Rag2nulγcnull mice Deficient in T, B and NK cells [5, 10]
Anti-CD122, anti-asialo GM-1 or TM-β1 antibody Depletion of NK cells [12, 35, 36, 5052]
Liposome-encapsulated dichloromethylene-bisphosphonate Depletion of macrophages [11]
Pre-treatments of recipient mice Specific antibody Depletion of neutrophils [106, 125]
Specific antibody Depletion of granulocytes [107, 176]
Irradiation Making space [66]
TNFα, IL-15, IL-18, rhGH, rhPRL Growth/Stimulating factors [56, 58, 62, 64, 65, 177]
Transplantation strategies Co-transplantation of human foetal thymus/liver tissues and CD34+ HSCs Enhance the resource for human HSCs and immune cells [13]
