Humanized Immune System Mouse Model

huNOG Humanized Mouse Model
huNOG mice are made to order, with an 18+ week lead time from order to delivery. Consider huNOG-EXL SA if you need a HIS mouse with immediate availability. Our scientists are available to consult with you on model choice.

  • Genotype
  • Nomenclature
  • HSCCB-NOG-F
    sp/sp;ko/ko
    NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Sug/ JicTac
  • Made to order, with an 18+ week lead time from order to delivery. Minimum purchase required. Consider huNOG-EXL SA if you need a HIS mouse with immediate availability.
  • Human lymphocytes are present in peripheral blood, bone marrow, thymus and spleen.
  • All mice shipped meet a QC spec of ≥25% hCD45+ in peripheral blood as assessed at 12 weeks post-engraftment.
  • Long term studies are possible in huNOG mice, with literature reports of stable engraftment and hematopoiesis for one year or more. However, not all human immune cell types are present, and some cell types may not be completely functional.
  • Humanized immune system mice require special housing and husbandry. We recommend reviewing the the comprehensive document Taconic's Humanized Immune System Models: Licensing, Care & Resources and the Video: Care of HIS mice for experimental success prior to ordering.

Orders by weight: Taconic cannot accept orders by weight for this model. Please note that shipments may contain animals with a larger weight variation.

  • Custom options such as HLA selection are available with additional fee. Inquire regarding your specific needs.
  • Orders with a specification regarding number of mice per donor are subject to availability and are not guaranteed, as orders may need to be adjusted at time of packing.

NOTE: Please contact Taconic prior to your first order for a review of unpacking instructions. Tattoo numbers may repeat between engraftment lots. Individual ID number is determined through examination of the tattoo PLUS the box and section location.
