Humanized Mouse Models for Drug Discovery: The NOG Portfolio


About the White Paper:

As drug discovery efforts rapidly shift towards increasingly complex and highly specific biologic therapeutics, sourcing appropriate in vivo models for preclinical work is becoming more challenging. Researchers are turning to humanized immune system (HIS) models to help address their in vivo drug research challenges.

Humanized Mouse Models for Drug Discovery

HIS mouse models have become invaluable tools for a multitude of research applications, ranging from immuno-oncology, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, to basic research into the immune system and hematopoiesis.

Discover how NOG mice can be utilized to accelerate preclinical research and drug discovery. This free white paper provides a thorough overview of HSC and PBMC engraftment models using the original NOG mouse, in addition to next generation models designed to support engraftment of particular human immune cell subsets, such as myeloid lineages and NK cells.

Read this white paper to:

  • Get insight into the comprehensive NOG Portfolio and the application of NOG strains as hosts for immune system humanization
  • Learn about key alternative cell humanization approaches to address requirements for particular human cell types
  • Find out how to select the most appropriate humanized model for your drug discovery needs
  • Get detailed guidance to help you maximize the success of your next study utilizing humanized immune system mouse models

Did You Know?

 

The CIEA NOG mouse® exemplifies one of the first super immunodeficient mouse strains engineered to overcome obstacles to successful immune system humanization.

 

NOG variants engraft immune cells from human PBMCs with high efficiency, making them very sensitive models of xenogeneic GvHD and other autoimmune diseases.

 

As increasingly complex drugs, including human-specific biologics, garner greater research focus, new NOG variants will enable additional HIS model applications.
