Anti-SCID mouse reactivity shapes the human CD4+ T cell repertoire in hu-PBL-SCID chimeras
Injecting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice results in long-term engraftment of human lymphocytes, of which > 98% are phenotypically mature, activated T cells. Here we have characterized the human T cells that populate such hu-PBL-SCID chimeras. We report that these human T cells do not mobilize Ca2+ after CD3 stimulation, i.e., their T ce...
متن کاملTransfer of human CD4(+) T lymphocytes producing beta interferon in Hu-PBL-SCID mice controls human immunodeficiency virus infection.
Beta interferon (IFN-beta) exerts pleiotropic antiretroviral activities and affects many different stages of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infectious cycle in IFN-treated cells. To explore whether transfer of genetically engineered human CD4(+) T cells producing constitutively low amounts of IFN-beta can eradicate HIV in vivo, we developed a new Hu-PBL-SCID mouse model supporting a per...
متن کاملRole of interleukin-4 in human immunoglobulin E formation in hu-PBL-SCID mice.
We studied the role of IL-4 in human IgE formation in severe combined immunodeficient mice engrafted with peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (hu-PBL-SCID). PBL from four nonatopic donors produced only small (< 20 ng/ml) or undetectable amounts of IgE in SCID mice whereas engrafted PBL from seven atopic donors secreted IgE with IgE serum levels reaching a mean +/- SE of 184 +/- 37 ng/ml (n ...
متن کاملAnti-human CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody promotes T-cell expansion and immunity in a hu-PBL-SCID model: a new method for preclinical screening of costimulatory monoclonal antibodies.
When adopting basic principles learned in mice to clinical application in humans, it is often difficult to distinguish whether a "translation" fails because of an invalid target in the human disease or because the therapeutic agents are not optimal for the human target. It is, therefore, desirable to develop preclinical models to optimize therapies for human targets using in vivo settings. Alth...
متن کاملHuman cytotoxic T-cells suppress the growth of spontaneous melanoma metastases in SCID/hu mice.
Mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) provide an excellent model for studying interactions between human tumor cells and effector cells of the immune system. Because these animals lack functional B and T lymphocytes, they can accept human tumor xenografts and transfer of human effector cells. Here, we determined the ability of a human melanoma-specific, cytotoxic T-cell line (CTL) i...
