This study examines the effect of imiquimod (IMQ) on skin inflammation in humanized BRGSF mice boosted with human Flt3L. Although skin inflammation and epidermal thickening occurred, the response was mainly mediated by murine immune cells, with limited human immune cell activation.
IMQ treatment induced skin inflammation characterized by epidermal thickening and immune cell infiltration. However, human immune cell activity remained limited, with the inflammatory response largely driven by the murine immune system.
BRGSF-HIS humanized mouse model developed by genOway, reconstituted with human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells and boosted with human Flt3L to support human immune system engraftment.
