Preclinical Double-Humanized PD-1/TIM3 Mouse Model
Design of the hPD‑1/hTIM3 mouse
The double-humanized PD-1 and TIM3 mouse model (hPD-1/hTIM3) was generated by intercrossing hPD-1 and hTIM3 mice.
hPD-1 has been developed by inserting, within the mouse PD-1 locus, a chimeric PD-1 with a human extracellular domain, a murine transmembrane domain and a murine intracellular domain.
The design of the TIM3 humanized model, developed by Knockin at the mouse TIM3 locus, enables the expression of a chimeric TIM3 with a human extracellular domain, a murine transmembrane domain and a murine intracellular domain.
Applications in immuno-oncology
The hPD-1/hTIM3 mouse enables the in vivo efficacy assessment and profiling of immuno-oncology agents targeting the human immune checkpoint PD-1 and/or TIM3 in fully immunocompetent mice.
Humanized tumor cell line MC38-hPD-L1:
Use our hPD-1/hTIM3 mouse model together with our cell line MC38-hPD-L1 as a syngeneic tumor model for testing the efficacy of combination therapies targeting human PD-1 and human PD-L1.

hPD-1/hTIM3 features
- The PD-1 and TIM3 extracellular domains are entirely humanized
- Preservation of the target-ligand interaction
- Fully functional mouse immune system
- Lack of expression of the murine target gene, thus avoiding cross-reactivity
hPD-1/hTIM3 validation*
hPD-1 and hTIM3 expression on tumor-infiltrated CD8 T cells Human TIM3 and human PD-1 expression on CD8 T cells isolated from tumor. Tumors were harvested 28 days post inoculation of MC38 cells in hPD-1/hTIM3 mice. Isolated cells were pre-gated on lymphocytes, single cells, living cells, CD45+/TCRβ+, and CD8+. |
Anti-human TIM3 therapy in combination with anti-human PD-1 improves tumor protection when compared to vehicle or blocking PD-1 only. Survival of hPD-1/hTIM3 mice implanted subcutaneally with MC38 cells and treated with vehicle, αhPD-1, or αhPD-1 + αhTIM3 (two-way ANOVA; ****p<0.0001; ns: non-significant). |
