Abstract
J Hum Virol Retrovirol 2016, 3(2): 00087 Another alternative approach has been to implant human stem cells (HSC) into newborn NSG mice. Both models provide a suitable environment in which to partially reconstitute the human immune system. With adequate numbers of target cells, HIV-1 can replicate without interference from the mouse immune system. The NSG mouse transplantation/engraftment models are the best currently available, as they provide the highest level of human HSC engraftment compared with other immunodeficient strains [1,2].
