Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a transgenic animal model for testing immunogenicity and protective efficacy of human vaccines and the method for generating such a multitransgenic animal. Also disclosed are methods for screening compositions for human vaccine development. More specifically, a mouse model capable of expressing human leukocyte antigen DR4, and human costimulatory molecules (CD80) upon infusion of human HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cells, which can develop into a functional human immune system is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transgenic NOD mouse whose genome comprises a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding human leukocyte antigen DR4 (HLA-DR4) operably linked to mouse I-E d promoter, wherein the transgenic NOD mouse is homozygous for a null mutation in the RAG-1(Rag1 −/− ) gene and null for the mouse interleukin 2 receptor gamma chain (IL-2Rγc) gene; and wherein the transgenic mouse expresses said HLA-DR4 and develops a functional human immune system comprising human T-cells, human B-cells and serum levels of human IgA, IgM, IgE and IgG, wherein said functional human immune system in said mouse is produced by infusion of human HLA-matched hematopoietic stem cells. 2. The transgenic mouse of claim 1 , wherein genome of said transgenic mouse further comprising an expression vector comprising nucleic acid encoding human costimulatory molecules (CD80) operably linked to a rat insulin promoter (RIP).
