Stem cell home ELISA kit

To study human HSCs more effectively, researchers need a suitable host capable of supporting their growth and function. While existing animal models have been used, they often come with limitations. A team from Dresden University of Technology addressed this issue by developing an improved model using immunodeficient mice with specific Kit receptor mutations. This innovation allows transplanted human HSCs to replace the mouse’s own hematopoietic stem cells without the need for prior radiation, bypassing species barriers and offering a more natural setting for cell development.

Led by Professor Claudia Waskow, the research group optimized a "humanized" mouse model by introducing Kit mutations into mouse stem cells. Traditionally, such models struggle to support the development of innate immune cells, but the new version enables the effective formation of an entire innate immune system. Studies show that human HSCs can expand and differentiate into any blood cell type within this model, without additional manipulation. Moreover, the transplanted cells remain viable for extended periods, making the model highly valuable for long-term studies.

“Our goal is to enhance the study and transplantation of human HSCs by refining animal models,” said Claudia Waskow. The team introduced a natural Kit mutation in mice with no functional immune system, which helped overcome two major challenges in HSC transplantation: immune rejection and insufficient niche space in the bone marrow. Previously, scientists relied on radiotherapy to eliminate existing stem cells and make room for transplanted ones, but this approach is harmful and causes significant side effects.

By disrupting the Kit receptor’s niche, the mutation enables donor HSCs with functional receptors to efficiently replace the mouse’s own stem cells. This method is not only more effective but also eliminates the need for radiation, allowing researchers to study human blood cell development under normal physiological conditions. The new model provides a powerful tool for investigating blood and immune-related diseases, as well as testing potential therapies.

Additionally, the research revealed that Kit receptors play a crucial role in the function of human HSCs, especially in transplant environments. The study highlights that Kit mutations can help break down the species barrier in stem cell niches, opening up new possibilities for research and clinical applications. Properly utilizing this receptor could improve pre-treatment protocols during HSC transplantation, leading to better outcomes for patients.
