The development of highly immunodeficient strains of mice has ushered in an era of advanced human cancer models.
The purpose of this white paper is to provide an overview of the advantages of the R2G2 (Rag2/Il2rg double knockout) model with a focus on the factors that contribute to differential radiation sensitivity between the Rag2 and models with the SCID mutation.
In addition, this paper presents the results from a radiosensitivity and an immune cell profile study. Specifically, the radiosensitivity study compared the growth and survival of Envigo’s Rag2/Il2rg double knockout (R2G2) model to the NSG™ model using three different doses of radiation.
The impact of radiosensitivity on experimental design and the interpretation of the results will also be explored.
