Abstract
Transgenic humanized mice are widely used in biomedical research for the development of new vaccines and pharmaceutical products. Specialists of the Scientific Center of Biomedical Technologies of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia have created a number of humanized mouse lines, including biomodels with an integrated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. In this paper, we report a comparative analysis of the humoral immune response in mice of the HLA-A*0201 transgenic line and mice of the original line (CBA/lac × C57BL/6), F(1) hybrids) to the injected antigen – snail hemocyanin (KLH). By carrying out in vivo blood sampling from the animals of the experimental groups, the dynamics of the immune response over a period of four weeks was recorded. The titers of specific antibodies to KLH in the group of humanized mice of the HLA-A*0201 line were significantly higher than those of the original line of mice, reaching a maximum (1:51200) by the end of the experiment. The dynamics reflecting the growth of antibody synthesis as a result of repeated administration of the antigen have a similar pattern to the development of a secondary immune response in humans.
