Transplantation of human skin on immunodeficient mice that support engraftment with functional human immune systems would be an invaluable tool for investigating mechanisms involved in wound healing and transplantation. NOD-scid IL2rγnull (NSG) readily engraft with human immune systems but human skin graft integrity is poor. In contrast, human skin graft integrity is excellent on CB17-scid bg (SCID.bg) mice, but they engraft poorly with human immune systems. Human skin grafts transplanted onto immunodeficient NSG, SCID.bg, and other immunodeficient strains were evaluated for graft integrity, preservation of graft endothelium and their ability to be rejected following engraftment of allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Human skin transplanted onto NSG mice develops an inflammatory infiltrate, consisting predominately of host Gr1+ cells, that is detrimental to the survival of human endothelium in the graft. Treatment of graft recipients with anti-Gr1 antibody reduces this cellular infiltrate, preserves graft endothelium, and promotes wound healing, tissue development and graft remodeling. Excellent graft integrity of the transplanted skin includes multilayered stratified human epidermis, well developed human vasculature, human fibroblasts and passenger leukocytes. Injection of unfractionated, CD4 or CD8 allogeneic human PBMC induces a rapid destruction of the transplanted skin graft. NSG mice treated with anti-Gr1 antibody provide a model optimized for both human skin graft integrity and engraftment of a functional human immune system. This model provides the opportunity to investigate mechanisms orchestrating inflammation, wound healing, revascularization, tissue remodeling, and allograft rejection and can provide guidance for improving outcomes following clinical transplantation.
