Highlights

  • The breakthrough of immunotherapies has unleashed new hope and new success for cancer therapy

  • The choice of a preclinical model is one of the main challenges as they are important for evaluation of translatability to help support testing in clinical studies, including potential efficacy and tolerability of immunotherapies during preclinical development.The development of mouse models featuring a human immune system (HIS) provides new paths for the investigation of the efficacy of immunotherapies in preclinical models engrafted with human tumors

  • These models provided a breakthrough in the assessment of immune targeting agents, they come with a few significant caveats. These include: a lack of a mature human myeloid compartment in the mouse, and a short life span of the model when this compartment is promoted at non-physiological levels via the over-expression of human cytokines
