NOD/scid IL-2Rgnull mice: a preclinical model system to evaluate human dendritic cell-based vaccine strategies in vivo

Abstract Background To date very few systems have been described for preclinical investigations of human cellular therapeutics in vivo.However, the ability to carry out comparisons of new cellular vaccines in vivo would be of substantial interest for design of clinical studies.Here we describe a humanized mouse model to assess the efficacy of vario
