Abstract:Human hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-transferred humanized mice are valuable for exploring human hematology and immunology. However, sufficient recapitulation of human hematopoiesis in mice requires large quantities of enriched human CD34+ HSCs and total body irradiation for adequate engraftment. Recently, we generated a NOG mouse strain with a point mutation in the c-kit tyrosine kinase domain (W41 mutant; NOGW mice). Herein, we first examined the potential of NOGW mice for reconstituting human hematopoietic c… Show more
