Experimental animal models
Experimental Animal Model And Cell Culture Systems:
• Animal models – Inbred strains, Adoptive transfer systems, SCID
mice – Human mice, Congenic mice.
• The choice of an animal depends on its suitability for attaining a
particular research goal.
• Research in immunology, mice have been the experimental animal of
choice.
Easy to handle
Genetically well characterized
 Have a rapid breeding cycle.
Inbred Strains
• To control experimental variation caused by differences in the genetic backgrounds of
experimental animals, immunologists often work with inbred strains.
• They are genetically identical animals produced by inbreeding.
• The rapid breeding cycle of mice makes them particularly well suited for the production of
inbred strains, which are developed by repeated inbreeding between brother and sister
littermates.
• In this way the heterozygosity of alleles that is normally found in randomly outbred mice is
replaced by homozygosity at all loci. Repeated inbreeding for 20 generations usually yields
an inbred strain whose progeny are homozygous at more than 98% of all loci. More than 150
different inbred strains of mice are available, each designated by a series of letters and/ or
numbers
• Most strains can be purchased by immunologists from such suppliers as the Jackson Laboratory in Bar
Harbor,Maine. Inbred strains have also been produced in rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and
domestic fowl.
• Because inbred strains of animals are genetically identical (syngeneic) within that strain, their immune
responses can be studied in the absence of variables introduced by individual genetic differences—an
invaluable property.
• With inbred strains, lymphocyte subpopulations isolated from one animal can be injected into another
animal of the same strain without eliciting a rejection reaction.

• This type of experimental system permitted immunologists to first demonstrate that lymphocytes from
an antigen-primed animal could transfer immunity to an unprimed syngeneic recipient.
SOURCE: Adapted from Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 1979, Biological Handbooks, Vol. III:
Inbred and Genetically Defined Strains of Laboratory Animals.
• Definition:
In some experiments, it is important to eliminate the immune
responsiveness of the syngeneic host so that the response of only the
transferred lymphocytes can be studied in isolation. This can be
accomplished by a technique called adoptive transfer.
first, the syngeneic host is exposed to x-rays that kill its
lymphocytes; then the donor immune cells are introduced. Subjecting a mouse to
high doses of x-rays (650–750 rads) can kill 99.99% of its lymphocytes, after which
the activities of lymphocytes transplanted from the spleen of a syngeneic donor can
be studied without interference from host lymphocytes.
If the host’s hematopoietic cells might influence an adoptive-transfer
experiment, then higher x-ray levels (900–1000 rads) are used to eliminate the entire
hematopoietic system. Mice irradiated with such doses will die unless reconstituted
with bone marrow from a syngeneic donor.
The adoptive-transfer system has enabled immunologists to study the
development of injected lymphoid stem cells in various organs of the
recipient, and have facilitated the study of various populations of
lymphocytes and of the cellular interactions required to generate an
immune response.
Such experiments, for instance, first enabled immunologists to show
that a T helper cell is necessary for B-cell activation in the humoral
response.
In these experiments, adoptive transfer of purified B cells or purified T
cells did not produce antibody in the irradiated host. Only when both
cell populations were transferred was antibody produced in response to
antigen.
• An autosomal recessive mutation resulting in severe combined
immunodeficiency disease (SCID) developed spontaneously in a strain of mice
called CB-17.
• CB-17 SCID mice fail to develop mature T and B cells and consequently are
severely compromised immunologically. This defect is due to a failure in V(D)J
recombination.
• SCID mice must be housed in a sterile (germ-free) environment, because they
cannot fight off microorganisms of even low pathogenicity.
• The absence of functional T and B cells enables these mice to accept foreign cells
and grafts from other strains of mice or even from other species. Apart from their
lack of functional T and B cells, SCID mice appear to be normal in all respects.
• When normal bonemarrow cells are injected into SCID mice, normal T and B
cells develop, and the mice are cured of their immunodeficiency. This finding has
made SCID mice a valuable model system for the study of immunodeficiency and
the process of differentiation of bone-marrow stem cells into mature T or B cells.
• Portions of human fetal liver, adult thymus, and adult lymph nodes are
implanted into SCID mice.
• Because the mice lack mature T and B cells of their own, they do not
reject the transplanted human tissue.
• The implanted human fetal liver contains immature lymphocytes (stem
cells), which migrate to the implanted human tissues, where they
mature into T and B cells, producing a SCIDhuman mouse.
• Because the human lymphocytes are exposed to mouse antigens while
they are still immature, they later recognize mouse cells as self and do
not mount an immunologic response against the mouse host.
• The beauty of the SCIDhuman mouse is that it
enables one to study human
lymphocytes within an animal
model.
• This valuable system has
proved useful in research on
the development of various
lymphoid cells and also as an
important animal model in
AIDS research, since mouse
lymphocytes
cannot
be
infected with HIV, whereas
the lymphocytes of a SCIDhuman mouse are readily
infected.
