  • Patent number: 12510548
    Abstract: Humanized mouse models and methods are provided for determining whether administration of an immunomodulatory drug likely elicits a severe cytokine release syndrome in a human. Humanized mouse models and methods are also provided for determining the immunotoxicity in a human of a drug candidate or of drug combinations.

  • Publication number: 20250369955
    Abstract: Provided herein are humanized mouse models generated using T cell-negative fractions or peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from T cell-negative fractions, and methods of using the mouse models to assess the efficacy and/or side effects of a therapeutic agent. Immune cell therapies require a large number of cells. Most commonly, the cells are collected using a process referred to as apheresis. Apheresis collection of the mononuclear cell (MNC) layer has been shown to be a safe and efficient method of collecting the large number of T cells.

  • Publication number: 20250057128
    Abstract: The human immune system is complex, and its related diseases are similarly complicated. Therefore, human diseases, such as cancers, are often difficult to characterize and treat effectively. Immunodeficient transgenic mice for use as humanized mouse models are provided. The humanized mouse models may be further engrafted with diseased tissues or cells (e.g., human cancer cells). Methods of using the humanized mouse models to assess disease progression, immune response, and efficacy of proposed therapeutic agents are also provided herein.
