BACKGROUND: A critical need exists for effective small-animal models that accept engraftment of human hematopoietic progenitor cells and mature lymphocytes. The purpose of this study was to determine the phenotypic effects of perforin (Pfp) deficiency on nonobese diabetic (NOD)-Rag1null mice and to evaluate the ability of NOD/LtSz-Rag1nullPfpnull recipients to support engraftment with human hematolymphoid cells....
