Humanized NSG Mice: Revolutionary Models of Human Infectious Disease
Seminar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US
Humanized NOD scid gamma mice have emerged as the most versatile small animal models of human infectious diseases. This webinar will highlight recent advances using this model and offer a glimpse into the future of infectious disease modeling. Topics will include:
-How NSG mice are efficiently reconstituted with functional human immune cells
-How NSG mice model infection by pathogens with human tropism
-Breakthroughs in our understanding of HIV infection and the evaluation of novel therapies
-Models for tropical diseases, including malaria and Dengue virus
-HLA transgenic NSG variants that advance small animal vaccine models
Presenter: Andy Schile, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
Moderator: Kathy Snow, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
