Guidance on the Care & Husbandry of Immunodeficient NSG* Mice

Published Date

The NOD scid gamma (NSG*) mouse model and its variants are used by investigators worldwide to advance biomedical research, especially in the areas of cancer, infectious disease, and immunology. These mouse models, developed by The Jackson Laboratory, are valuable research tools but require specialized care and husbandry due to their severe immunodeficiency.

During this presentation, we will discuss best practices for optimizing NSG mouse health before and during experimental use. Join us to learn about:

  • The immunodeficient traits of the NSG model and its variants
  • Special health considerations for maintaining severely immunodeficient NSG mice
  • Recommendations for successful NSG housing and husbandry
