Research Abstract

The immunological features of the human B and T lymphocyteswere analyzed, which are reconstituted in super-immunodeficient NOG mice. The mature IgD+ B cells produced IgG in response to antigen and cytokine stimulation in vitro. The T cells in the periphery in the humanized NOG mice could neither proliferate nor produce IL-2 in response to antigenic stimulation. The problem is associated with the reduction of the frequency of naive T cells and the increase of that of effector/memory T cells. The transgenic expression of HLA-DR in NOG mice did not rescue the T cell function.
