Development of a humanized HLA-A30 transgenic mouse model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are remarkable genetic differences between animal major histocompatibility complex (MHC) systems and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. HLA transgenic humanized mouse model systems offer a much better method to study the HLA-A-related principal mechanisms for vaccine development and HLA-A-restricted responses against infection in human.

Methods

A recombinant gene encoding the chimeric HLA-A30 monochain was constructed. This HHD molecule contains the following: α1-α2 domains of HLA-A30, α3 and cytoplasmic domains of H-2D^b , linked at its N-terminus to the C-terminus of human β2m by a 15-amino-acid peptide linker. The recombinant gene encoding the chimeric HLA-A30 monochain cassette was introduced into bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) CH
