Abstract

To establish human B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia NOD/SCID mouse model. The unirradiated mice aged 4-5 weeks were injected with Nalm-6 cells via the tail vein. Successful transplantation was assessed by the general state, bone marrow smear and histopathologic examination. After 15 days of injection with Nalm-6 cells, the NOD/SCID mice displayed the morbidily with lethargy, hind limb paralysis, hunched back and lossing weight. The infiltration of leukemia cells could be observed in bone marrow and spleen sections. Systemic B lineage acute leukemia animal mode1 has been successfully established in the NOD/SCID mice, which is a useful tool for studying pathogenesis of leukemia and guiding clinical chemotherapy regimens.
