METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING MOUSE SUITABLE FOR THE TAKE, DIFFERENTIATION AND PROLIFERATION OF HETEROGENOUS CELLS, MOUSE CONSTRUCTED BY THIS METHOD AND USE OF THE MOUSE

摘要

The present invention provides an immunodeficient mouse (NOG mouse) suitable for engraftment, differentiation and proliferation of heterologous cells, and a method of producing such a mouse. This mouse is obtained by backcrossing a C.B-17-scid mouse with an NOD/Shi mouse, and further backcrossing an interleukin 2-receptor gamma -chain gene-knockout mouse with the thus backcrossed mouse. It is usable for producing a human antibody and establishing a stem cell assay system, a tumor model and a virus-infection model.
