Humanized NSG Mice: Revolutionary Models of Human Infectious Disease

Webinar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US

August Webinar Series - Spotlight on the Immune System and Humanized Mice

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: Brian Soper, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
Moderator: Kathy Snow, Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
