Arrest of human dendritic cells at the CD34-/CD4+/HLA-DR+ stage in the bone marrow of NOD/SCID-human chimeric mice.

چکیده
Human dendritic cell (DC) precursors were engrafted and maintained in NOD/SCID- human chimeric mice (NOD/SCID-hu mice) implanted with human cord blood mononuclear cells, although no mature human DCs were detected in lymphoid organs of the mice. Two months after implantation, bone marrow (BM) cells of NOD/SCID-hu mice formed colonies showing DC morphology and expressing CD1a in methylcellulose culture with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). The CD34-/CD4+/HLA-DR+ cell fraction in NOD/SCID-hu mouse BM generated CD1a(+) cells that were highly stimulatory in mixed leukocyte reactions in culture with GM-CSF and TNF-alpha. These results suggest a strong potential for NOD/SCID-hu BM to generate human DCs, although DC differentiation may be blocked at the CD34-/CD4+/HLA-DR+ stage. (Blood. 2001;97:3655-3657)

Human NK cell development in NOD/SCID mice receiving grafts of cord blood CD34+ cells.
Definition of the cytokine environment, which regulates the maturation of human natural killer (NK) cells, has been largely based on in vitro assays because of the lack of suitable animal models. Here we describe conditions leading to the development of human NK cells in NOD/SCID mice receiving grafts of hematopoietic CD34+ precursor cells from cord blood. After 1-week-long in vivo treatment wi...
متن کاملHuman dendritic cell subsets in NOD/SCID mice engrafted with CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors.
Distinct human dendritic cell (DC) subsets differentially control immunity. Thus, insights into their in vivo functions are important to understand the launching and modulation of immune responses. We show that nonobese diabetic/LtSz-scid/scid (NOD/SCID) mice engrafted with human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors develop human myeloid and plasmacytoid DCs. The skin displays immature DCs expressin...
متن کاملPhenotypic and functional evidence for the expression of CD4 by hematopoietic stem cells isolated from human fetal liver.
Expression of the CD4 antigen was observed on human fetal liver, fetal bone marrow (BM), and umbilical cord blood progenitors expressing high levels of CD34. Using clonal and liquid-culture assays, CD4+ CD34++ Lin- (lineage = CD3, CD8, CD10, CD14, CD15, CD16, CD19, CD20, and glycophorin A) fetal liver progenitors were found to have a greater proliferative potential than CD4- CD34++ Lin- progeni...

Human hematolymphoid mice have become valuable tools for the study of human hematopoiesis and uniquely human pathogens in vivo. Recent improvements in xenorecipient strains allow for longterm reconstitution with a human immune system. However, certain hematopoietic lineages, for example, the myeloid lineage, are underrepresented, possibly because of the limited cross-reactivity of murine and hu...

Here we report that a new nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mouse line harboring a complete null mutation of the common cytokine receptor chain (NOD/SCID/interleukin 2 receptor [IL2r] null) efficiently supports development of functional human hemato-lymphopoiesis. Purified human (h) CD34 or hCD34 hCD38 cord blood (CB) cells were transplanted into NOD/SCID/IL2r null ne...
