Targeting Strategy

Gene targeting strategy for B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice.
Exons 2-6 of mouse Cd3e (encoding the extracellular domain) were replaced by human CD3E exons 2-7 in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice.
Exons 1-3 of mouse B2M were replaced by the sequence encompassing the human B2M CDS and HLA-A*0201 gene that includes leader sequence, α1 and α2 domains ligated to a fragment of the murine H-2Db gene containing the α3, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.

Strain specific HLA expression analysis in homozygous B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice by flow cytometry.
Splenocytes were collected from wild type (WT) mice (+/+) and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Mouse H-2Db was detectable in WT mice (+/+) and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/+) . Human HLA-A2.1 was exclusively detected in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/+) and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/H) but not in WT mice (+/+).
Strain specific CD3E expression analysis in homozygous B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice by flow cytometry.
Splenocytes were collected from wild type (WT) mice (+/+) and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice, and analyzed by flow cytometry with species-specific anti-hCD3E antibody. Mouse CD3E was detectable in WT mice (+/+). Human CD3E was exclusively detectable in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/+) and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/H) but not in WT mice (+/+).

Analysis of thymus T cell subpopulations in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice
-
Analysis of thymus T cell subpopulations by FACS.
Thymocytes were isolated from female C57BL/6 and B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (n=3, 8 week-old). Flow cytometry analysis of the thymocytes was performed to assess T cell subsets. A. Representative FACS plots. Single live CD45+ cells were gated for CD3 T cell population and used for further analysis as indicated here. B. Results of FACS analysis. Percent of Treg cells in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice was similar to that in the C57BL/6 mice. Compared with C57BL/6 mice, the proportion of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells changed in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice, especially the proportion of CD8+ T cells in B-hCD3E/HLA-A2.1 mice (CD3EH/H; HLA-A2.1H/H) decreased significantly. No significant decrease in the proportion of CD8+ T cells was previously observed in B-hCD3E mice, so we speculated that the introduction of hB2M-HLA-A2.1-H-2D instead of mouse counterparts may affect the development of CD8+T cells, which in turn affected the proportion of T cells in thymus. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
