Comparison between different HIS humanized mouse models.
Hu-PBL-SCID | SRC-Hu | Thy/HSC (BLT) | |
---|---|---|---|
Accessibility of human sample | Good | Moderate | Difficult (potential ethic problem) |
Technique for model construction | Easy | Moderate | Relative difficult (required anesthesia and transplant technique) |
Human immune cell survival/development | Majority of activated human T cells; Transient human B cells, myeloid cells and NK cells; |
Multi-lineage human immune cell reconstitution; Poor human thymopoiesis; Lack of HLA mediate thymic selection for human T cells. |
Multi-lineage human immune cell reconstitution; Robust human thymopoiesis; Human TCR repertoire influenced by mouse antigen. |
Human immune function | T cell responses; Lack of interaction between human T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells. |
Poor HLA restricted T cell responses; Poor T cell-dependent humoral responses. |
Good HLA restricted T cell responses; Good T cell-dependent humoral response. |
Time window | Short | Long | Long |
