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
