ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a non-human chimeric mammal having characteristics of a functional human immune system and having functional human lymphocytes reconstituted in the mammal's lymphopoietic tissue, particularly the spleen. The invention also relates to a method of preparing a non-human chimeric mammal, having characteristics of a functional human immune system, by engraftment of human peripheral blood leukocytes into an immunocompromised mammal. Use of the chimeric mammal as a model of the human immune system is described.
