Targeting Strategy
-
Gene targeting strategy for B-hSIRPA mice. The exon 2 of mouse Sirpα gene that encode the extracellular domain was replaced by human SIRPα exon 2 in B-hSIRPA mice.

Phenotype
mRNA expression analysis
Strain specific analysis of Sirpα gene expression in WT and B-hSIRPA mice by RT-PCR. Mouse Sirpα mRNA was detectable in splenocytes of wild-type (+/+) mice. Human SIRPα mRNA was detectable only in H/H but not in +/+ mice.
Protein Expression Analysis
Abdominal cells from both wild type (WT) C57BL/6 and homozygous B-hSIRPα mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. Mouse SIRPα + cells were detectable in non-T and non-B cells from both WT C57BL/6 and the homozygous B-hSIRPα mice, while human SIRPα+ cells were only detectable in non-T and non-B cells from the homozygous B-hSIRPα mice. This might be resulted from the cross recognition of hSIRPα by anti-mSIRPα antibody.
Application
Human SIRPα mAb Efficacy Evaluation (MC38-hCD47 Cells)
Murine colon cancer MC38-hCD47 cells (without mCD47 cells) were subcutaneously implanted into homozygous B-hSIRPα mice. Mice were grouped when the tumor size was approximately 150±50 mm3 (n=5). Three human SIRPα antibodies differently inhibited tumor growth, confirming that the B-hSIRPα mouse model is a powerful tool for in vivo SIRPα antibody pharmacological efficacy study. (A) Tumor average volume ± SEM, (B) Mice average weight ± SEM.
