Lack of acute xenogeneic graft‐ versus ‐host disease, but retention of T‐cell function following engraftment of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in NSG mice deficient in MHC class I and II expression

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Immunodeficient mice engrafted with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) support preclinical studies of human pathogens, allograft rejection, and human T‐cell function. However, a major limitation of PBMC engraftment is development of acute xenogeneic graft‐ versus ‐host disease (GVHD) due to human T‐cell recognition of murine major histocompatibility complex (MHC). To address this, we...
