CD47;Rag2;IL-2rγ triple knock-out mice pre-conditioning with busulfan could be a novel platform for generating hematopoietic stem cells engrafted humanized mice

Humanized mouse models to recapitulate human biological systems still have limitations, such as the onset of lethal graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), a variable success rate, and the low accessibility of total body irradiation (TBI). Recently, mice modified with the CD47-SIRPA axis have been studied to improve humanized mouse models. However, such trials have been rarely applied in NOD mice. In this study, we created a novel mouse strain, NOD-CD47
