The Power of Modeling Human Disease in NSG Mice
September 13, 1:00 p.m. (ET in US)
The Nod-scid gamma mouse (Strain# 005557) is the latest innovation from the Jackson Laboratory and one of the most immunodeficent laboratory mice. Its versatility to support human hematopoiesis and the engraftment of a wide range of human tumors and tissues is enabling previously impossible research in many critical therapeutic areas, including cancer and infectious disease. Join Jackson Laboratory scientists Dr. Andy Schile and Sheri Kuslak-Meyer to learn how this state-of-the-art mouse is enabling pioneering research that is critical to human health. In this webinar you will learn how to
- Establish in vivo models that support the growth and integrity of cell lines and primary solid and liquid tumors
- Perform advanced preclinical testing using the Human Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) resource
- Successfully engraft human hematopoietic cells in (“humanize”) NSG mice
- Leverage the NSG mouse in infectious disease research, graft-versus-host disease research, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine
