Design of the hPD‑1/hTIM3 mouse

The double-humanized PD-1 and TIM3 mouse model (hPD-1/hTIM3) was generated by intercrossing hPD-1 and hTIM3 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.

The design of the TIM3 humanized model, developed by Knockin at the mouse TIM3 locus, enables the expression of a chimeric TIM3 with a human extracellular domain, a murine transmembrane domain and a murine intracellular domain.

hPD-1/hTIM3 features

  • The PD-1 and TIM3 extracellular domains are entirely humanized
  • 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 and hTIM3 expression on tumor-infiltrated CD8 T cells

    Human TIM3 and human PD-1 expression on CD8 T cells isolated from tumor. Tumors were harvested 28 days post inoculation of MC38 cells in hPD-1/hTIM3 mice. Isolated cells were pre-gated on lymphocytes, single cells, living cells, CD45+/TCRβ+, and CD8+.

     
  • Anti-human TIM3 therapy in combination with anti-human PD-1 improves tumor protection when compared to vehicle or blocking PD-1 only.

    Survival of hPD-1/hTIM3 mice implanted subcutaneally with MC38 cells and treated with vehicle, αhPD-1, or αhPD-1 + αhTIM3 (two-way ANOVA; ****p<0.0001; ns: non-significant).
