On-Demand Webinar Series

Unlocking Advancements in Immuno-Oncology with the Power of the NOG Model Portfolio & Humanized Immune System Mice

About the series: 

Humanized Immune System (HIS) mouse models are useful preclinical tools to further understand the immune system, and many valuable HIS models are generated from the severely immunodeficient CIEA NOG mouse® and related host strains.  The NOG mouse is the base of a flexible platform that includes a variety of 2nd generation strains. 

This series of three webinars will present a thorough overview of the NOG Portfolio, including an overview of humanization approaches to include humanization using PBMCs, HSCs, and isolated primary cells.  HIS mouse engraftment profiles are host strain-specific and can be influenced by the engraftment protocol and individual donors.  Attendees will understand which host strain and humanization approach to select in order to achieve engraftment with relevant human immune cells of interest along with the strengths and limitations of various models.  

This webinar series will include some discussion of the utility of HIS mice for immuno-oncology efficacy studies for therapeutics with a range of mechanisms, including TIL and CAR-T cell therapies, NK cell therapies and NK cell modulators, and more.   

 

The first session in this series covers the various applications of humanized immune system (HIS) mice. Get insight into two popular approaches to humanizing NOG mice, including the strengths and limitations of each approach.

Scientist Dr. Mayara Grizotte-Lake will review the importance of selecting the right murine model for your study, starting with your human cell type(s) of interest.

 

This second webinar session discusses the humanization of the NOG-EXL and hIL-6 NOG host strains, highlighting their unique capabilities. Both strains support a range of human cell types, including myeloid and lymphoid lineages, making them valuable tools for preclinical research.

Field application scientist, Dr. Laura Griffin will provide guidance for the successful efficacy evaluation of immuno-oncology therapies in HIS mouse models.

 

The final installment of this series focuses on how to best utilize two popular HIS models. The hIL-2 NOG mouse model support research into TIL and CAR-T therapies, while the hIL-15 NOG model facilitates NK cell research, including NK cell therapies and NK cell-modulating drugs.

Dr. Jessica Ramadhin reviews how to select the most appropriate host strain and donor cells for your experimental success.
