To better characterize acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development in non-obese diabetic (NOD)/severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice, we transplanted samples from patients with AML or KG-1 and EOL-1 cell lines. We found 9/12 primary AML samples and both cell lines to engraft within 2-8 weeks, with 5-80% human cells in bone marrow. Compared with freshly isolated AML cells, percentages of human CD33(+), CD38(+), CD31(+) CD13(+) or CD15(+) subpopulations increased after transplantation, whereas percentages of CD34(+) cells decreased. Engrafted mice frequently showed expression of human endothelial cell markers. Thus, transplantation of human AML into NOD/SCID mice reveals expression of hematopoietic and endothelial differentiation markers. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
