Human lymphocyte biology and its application to humanized mice

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter describes lymphocyte maturation and differentiation. Interactions of lymphoid tissues with the central and peripheral nervous systems play a fundamental role in health and disease. Recent advances in xenobiology has opened new approaches to study relationships between peripheral immunity and nervous system development, homeostasis, response to injuries, and disease in animal models. Humanized animal models help to study the complexity of human immune system development and adaptive immune responses. Humanization of a mouse brain with human glial cells provides an additional tool to study hemato-lymphoid brain interactions in small animals.
