HEMATOPOIESIS

Adapted NOD/SCID model supports development of phenotypically and functionally mature T cells from human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells

From the Department of Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology, and Immunology and the Department of Hematology, Ghent University Hospital, Belgium; the Division of Clinical Onco-Immunology, Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland; the Department of Immunology, University Hospital Rotterdam, The Netherlands; and BTC Oost-Vlaanderen, Ghent, Belgium.

The NOD-LtSZ scid/scid (NOD/SCID) repopulation assay is the criterion for the study of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation of human hematopoietic stem cells. An important shortcoming of this model is the reported absence of T-cell development. We studied this aspect of the model and investigated how it could be optimized to support T-cell development. Occasionally, low-grade thymic engraftment was observed in NOD/SCID mice or Rag2-/-gamma c-/- mice. In contrast, the treatment of NOD/SCID mice with a monoclonal antibody against the murine interleukin-2Rbeta , (IL-2Rbeta ) known to decrease natural killer cell activity, resulted in human thymopoiesis in up to 60% of the mice. T-cell development was phenotypically normal and resulted in polyclonal, mature, and functional CD1- TCRalpha beta + CD4+ or CD8+ single-positive T cells. In mice with ongoing thymopoiesis, peripheral T cells were observed. TREC analysis showed that T cells with a naive phenotype (CD45RA+) emerged from the thymus. In approximately half of these mice, the peripheral T cells included a pauciclonal outgrowth of CD45RO+ cells. These data suggest that all elements of a functional immune system were present in these animals.
