Journal ArticleDOI

Humanized Mouse Models of Clinical Disease.

TL;DR: Recent progress in the development and use of humanized mice is discussed and their utility for the study of human diseases is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clonal exhaustion as a mechanism to protect against severe immunopathology and death from an overwhelming CD8 T cell response.

TL;DR: For non-cytopathic viruses like LCMV, hepatitis C virus, and hepatitis B virus, clonal exhaustion may be a protective mechanism preventing severe immunopathology and death, as demonstrated with three different inocula of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humanized mouse model of mast cell–mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and passive systemic anaphylaxis

TL;DR: NSG-SGM3 BLT mice provide a readily available source of human mast cells for investigation of mast cell biology and a preclinical model of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and passive systemic anaphYLaxis that can be used to investigate the pathogenesis of human allergic responses and to test new therapeutics before their advancement to the clinic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humanized Mouse Models for Transplant Immunology.

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the development of humanized mice and their use as preclinical models for the study of human allograft responses highlights an important preclinical model system for evaluation of new drugs and identification of the mechanisms underlying humanAllograft rejection without putting patients at risk.
