- Super immunodeficient NOG mouse expressing human IL-15 cytokine
- Predominant differentiation of human NK cells following human HSC engraftment compared to the base NOG mouse, but survival time is limited
- Human NK cells developed in hIL-15 NOG mice following HSC engraftment express various NK receptors and produce both granzyme A and perforin upon stimulation
- Engraftment and expansion of human NK cells following engraftment with CD56+ NK cells derived from PBMCs
- May be useful for efficacy studies involving antibody therapeutics with antibody dependent cell cytotoxcity mechanism of action
- Applications in research involving cancer, infectious disease, immunology, regenerative medicine and human immune system engraftment

What our customers say:
“Experimental Pharmacology & Oncology (EPO) GmbH uses 1st and 2nd generation NOG mice provided by Taconic for its preclinical oncology service. These mice are included in novel concepts for the development of personalized treatment options and especially suited for humanization strategies. We are very satisfied with the quality of mice, the reliability of shipment and the high level of scientific support. Further, we very much appreciate the competent and always friendly communication.”Experimental Pharmacology & Oncology (EPO) GmbH
Origin:
The CIEA NOG mouse® was developed by Mamoru Ito of the Central Institute for Experimental Animals (CIEA) in Japan. The Prkdc scid 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. Portions of exons 7 and 8 were replaced with a neo cassette. 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-Prkdc scid line for a total of eight generations. The hIL-15 NOG mouse was developed by microinjecting a transgene consisting of a DNA fragment containing human IL-15 cDNA with a hIL-2 signal peptide, under the control of a CMV-promoter, into zygotes of NOD/ShiJic-Il2rg mice. Founders were backcrossed to NOG mice to establish the hIL-15 NOG line. Taconic received stock in 2014, and the line was derived through embryo transfer. Availability:
