Abstract excerpt
The nonobese diabetic/severe combined immune-deficient (NOD/SCID) mouse xenotransplantation assay is the most commonly used surrogate assay for the study of human candidate stem cells. In contrast to large animal and human studies, however, it is limited by the short life span of the recipients, the limited proliferative demand placed on the transplanted cells, and the inability to support differentiation into...
