The triple-humanized PD‑1, GITR and GITRL mouse model (hPD-1/hGITR/hGITRL) was generated by intercrossing hPD-1, hGITR and hGITRL mice.
hPD-1 was generated by inserting, within the mouse Pd-1 locus, a chimeric PD-1 with the human extracellular and murine transmembrane and intracellular domains.
hGITR was developed by inserting, within the mouse Gitr locus, a chimeric GITR with the human extracellular and the murine intracellular domain.
hGITRL was generated by inserting, within the mouse Gitrl locus, a chimeric GITRL with the human extracellular and the murine intracellular domain.
hPD-1, hGITR and hGITRL expressions are regulated by endogenous mouse promoters.
Freshly isolated splenocytes from wild-type or PD-1/GITR/GITRL triple-humanized mice. mPD-1 and hPD-1 expression were analyzed on single live CD3+, CD4+CD25-cells (conv CD4) and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ cells (Treg). T cells from lymphocytes incubated in the presence of anti-CD3, anti-CD28 and recombinant murine IL-2.

Survival of mice of indicated genotype implanted intracranially with GL261 murine glioma cells and treated with αhPD-1 (pembrolizumab), αmPD-1 or isotype (Mantel-Cox test: ***p<0.001).
Mice were injected with vehicle, IgG, GITR-Fc or mCTLA4-Ig on day -1, sensitized with DNFB on day 0, and then challenged on the ear on day 5. The mean ear-swelling response was determined at 24 and 48 hours post DNFB challenge.
