Allogeneic and xenogeneic lymphoid reconstitution in a RAG2−/−IL2RGy/− severe combined immunodeficient pig: A preclinical model for intrauterine hematopoietic transplantation

Abstract excerpt

Mice with severe combined immunodeficiency are commonly used as hosts of human cells. Size, longevity, and physiology, however, limit the extent to which immunodeficient mice can model human systems. To address these limitations, we generated RAG2−/−IL2RGy/− immunodeficient pigs and demonstrate successful engraftment of SLA mismatched allogeneic D42 fetal liver cells, tagged with pH2B-eGFP, and human CD34+...
