Immunology and Radiotherapy

Haematopoiesis and Immune System Development

Hematopoietic or lymphoid malignancies are growths that severely impact the blood, bone marrow, lungs, and lymphatic system. Malignancies of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues include leukaemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, dyspraxia of plasma cells, and dendritic cell tumours.

Effective research tools for examining human immune function, immunology, infectious illness, and transplant biology are immune-deficient mice with specific IL2rg gene mutations. These mice have their immune systems engrafted with human immune systems. By implanting human foetal thymes and liver tissues in recipients who have had radiation treatment, followed by an intravenous infusion of an autologous foetal liver haematopoietic stem, the most reliable human immunological model is produced.
