In tests on human breast cancer cells and in special
immunodeficient mice with tissue grafts, the scientists found that both agents interfered with genes involved with breast cancer cell growth, resulting in more cancer cells.

In this study, the Hiroshima University researchers developed an animal model using severely
immunodeficient mice whose livers were partially populated
with human cells, in order to reconstruct elements of the human immune system.
One of the most popular models is the
immunodeficient nonobese diabetic severe combined immunodeficiency (NOD scid) gamma (NSG) transgenic
mouse line, which can be endowed
with a humanized immune system using CD34 + hematopoietic stem cells.
To further validate our result in clinical samples, we obtained primary tumor from patients
with advanced breast cancer and the tissue was passaged once in nonobese diabetic / severe combined
immunodeficient mouse without in vitro culture.

To address the possibility that OspC is required for immune evasion, we inoculated severe combined
immunodeficient (SCID)
mice in parallel
with WT, ospC mutant, and complemented clones (Table 4, which is published as supporting information on the PNAS web site).
