Design of the hPD‑1/hVISTA mouse

The double-humanized PD-1 and VISTA mouse model (hPD-1/hVISTA) was generated by intercrossing hPD-1 and hVISTA mice.

hPD-1 has been developed by inserting, within the mouse PD-1 locus, a chimeric PD-1 with a human extracellular domain, a murine transmembrane domain and a murine intracellular domain. hVISTA has been developed by inserting, within the mouse VISTA locus, a chimeric VISTA with a human extracellular, human transmembrane and murine intracellular domain.

Both hPD-1 and hVISTA expressions are regulated by endogenous mouse promoters.

hPD-1/hVISTA features

  • The PD-1 and VISTA extracellular domains are entirely humanized
  • Physiological regulation and expression pattern of the human PD-1 and VISTA
  • Preservation of the target-ligand interaction
  • Fully functional mouse immune system
  • Lack of expression of the murine target gene, thus avoiding cross-reactivity
  • hPD-1 expression pattern in hPD-1/hVISTA mice recapitulates mPD-1 in wild-type mice
