Humanized mice transplanted with CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are used to study human immune responses in vivo. However, the mismatch between the mouse major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) and the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) is not optimal for T-cell development and can trigger xenograft reactivity. We evaluated human T-cell development in NOD.Scid.Gamma mice lacking expression of MHC class I and II (NSG-DKO). Human leukocyte engraftment was detectable at 8 weeks post-transplantation. Human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were detectable in blood, thymus, bone marrow and spleen of humanized NSG-DKO mice for up to 20 weeks post-transplantation. Further, we evaluated the effects of lentiviral vector (LV) systemic delivery of HLA-A*02:01, HLA-DRB1*04:01, human GM-CSF/IFN- and the human cytomegalovirus gB antigen. LV delivery promoted development and activation of human central memory, {beta} and {gamma}{delta} T-cells with amplifications of the T-cell repertoire. LV administration unleashed multiple reactome pathways such as type-I interferon responses, cell cycle and metabolic processes. In summary, development of human T-cells in humanized mice does not rely on mouse MHCs and can be boosted systemically via LV administration.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
