  • The B2m-NOG is an immunodeficient CIEA NOG mouse® with an additional knockout of the B2m gene which disrupts MHC class I antigen presentation.
  • B2m-NOG mice can successfully engraft human PBMCs and tumors.
  • Compared to NOG, B2m-NOG mice have markedly delayed GvHD onset after human PBMC engraftment, providing an expanded study window (8+ weeks). This vastly increases the utility of the model in immuno-oncology experiments.
  • B2m-NOG has reduced efficiency of human PBMC engraftment relative to NOG as well as a CD4+ bias that increases over time in engrafted peripheral blood T cells (see data section).
  • Available engrafted with human PBMCs as huPBMC-B2m-NOG.

Origin:

The CIEA NOG mouse® was developed by Mamoru Ito of the Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA) in Japan. The Prkdcscid mutation was identified by Mel Bosma of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in a C.B-17 congenic mouse population. This mutation was backcrossed onto the NOD/ShiJic strain at CIEA for at least eight generations. The Il2rg targeted mutation was developed by Dr. Kazuo Sugamura of Tohoku University by targeting the gene in ES cells derived from a 129 strain. Targeted ES cells were injected into C57BL/6 blastocysts. Resultant chimeras were backcrossed onto the C57BL/6JJic background for at least eight generations. The CIEA NOG mouse® was developed by backcrossing the C57BL/6JJic-Il2rg line to the NOD/ShiJic-Prkdcscid line for a total of eight generations. The B2m gene was knocked out via CRISPR-mediated knock-in of a nonsense mutation into exon 1. This mutation was made directly in the NOG strain.

B2m-NOG mice successfully engraft human PBMCs

PBMC engraftment in NOG-B2m

B2m-NOG mice at 6-11 weeks of age were engrafted with varying doses of human PBMCs via tail vein injection. Engraftment was assessed weekly by flow cytometry of peripheral blood samples and is expressed as human CD3/mouse CD45.

B2m-NOG mice have extended survival following human PBMC engraftment

GvHD-free survival of PBMC engrafted mouse strains

NOG and B2m-NOG mice at 6-11 weeks of age were engrafted with 1 x 107 human PBMCs from a single donor via tail vein injection. Mice were monitored for signs of xenogeneic Graft vs. Host Disease for up to 8 weeks post engraftment. Data is shown in the Kaplan-Meier survival curve to represent proportion of mice exhibiting xenogeneic GvHD-free survival for the study duration by group (N=6/cohort). (P<0.001, Log rank Mantel-Cox test).

T cell subsets in B2m-NOG mice engrafted with human PBMCs

B2m-NOG mice at 6-11 weeks of age were engrafted with 1 x 107 human PBMCs from a single donor via tail vein injection. Peripheral blood samples were collected weekly and immunophenotyped for T cells (CD3) and T cell subsets (CD4, CD8) to assess of T cell subset development and kinetics. Flow cytometry was used to assess CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets across groups. Results represent the average ± SD (N=5-6/cohort).
