• CD3 consists of four protein chains (CD3ε, CD3δ, CD3γ, and CD3ζ), which are important biological markers on the T cell membrane. CD3 can form a TCR/CD3 complex with the T cell receptor, participating in the regulation of T cell antigen recognition, signal transduction, and T cell development.
• B-hCD3EDG mice(C) were obtained by backcrossing B-hCD3EDG mice (strain 110039). In B-hCD3EDG mice(C), human CD3EDG is expressed, while mouse Cd3edg is knocked out.
• Human CD3E can be detected on T cells from the spleen and blood of homozygous B-hCD3EDG mice (C), but not in wild-type mice. Humanization of CD3EDG does not change the overall frequency or distribution of immune cell types in the spleen, blood, thymus, and lymph nodes. T cells can be activated by anti-hCD3E antibody and anti-mCD28 antibody in B-hCD3EDG mice(C) in vitro.
• This product is used for the pharmacological and safety evaluation of therapeutic drugs for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Strain specific analysis of CD3E, D, G mRNA expression in wild-type BALB/cCrSlcNifdc mice and B-hCD3EDG mice(C) by RT-PCR. Thymus RNA were isolated from wild-type BALB/cCrSlcNifdc mice (+/+) and homozygous B-hCD3EDG mice(C) (H/H), then cDNA libraries were synthesized by reverse transcription, followed by PCR with mouse or human CD3E, D, G primers. Mouse Cd3e, d, g mRNA was only detectable in wild-type mice. Human CD3E, D, G mRNA was exclusively detectable in homozygous B-hCD3EDG mice(C), but not in wild-type mice.

Frequency of leukocyte subpopulations in spleen by flow cytometry. Splenocytes were isolated from wild-type BALB/cCrSIcNifdc mice and homozygous B-hCD3EDG mice(C) (female, 6-week-old, n=3). A. Flow cytometry analysis of the splenocytes was performed to assess the frequency of leukocyte subpopulations. B. Frequency of T cell subpopulations. Frequencies of T cells, B cells, NK cells, DCs, neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells and Tregs in B-hCD3EDG mice(C) were similar to those in BALB/cCrSIcNifdc. The frequency of leukocyte subpopulations in thymus, lymph node and blood of B-hCD3EDG mice(C) were also comparable to wild-type BALB/cCrSIcNifdc mice (Data not shown). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.

CD25 and CD69 expression analysis in wild-type BALB/cCrSlcNifdc mice and homozygous humanized B-hCD3EDG mice(C) by flow cytometry. T cells were isolated from splenocytes of BALB/cCrSlcNifdc and B-hCD3EDG mice(C) (n=3, 6-week-old), and were incubated in the presence of anti-mCD3ε antibody (2ug/ml，BioXcell，BE0001-2) , anti-hCD3ε antibody (2ug/ml，BioXcell，BE0001-1) and anti-mCD28 antibody (5ug/ml，BioXcell，BE0015-1) for 24h.
