Small “Life” Makes Sense (8) | Pre-Screening of Reconstructed Humanized Hu-PBMC Mouse Strains


As an advanced experimental animal model, humanized immune system mice have demonstrated tremendous potential and practical value in biomedical research and drug development in recent years. The generation of such mice typically relies on immunodeficient mouse models, in which human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), or other immune tissues are transplanted into these mice to reconstruct a human immune system, thereby mimicking human immune characteristics and pathological processes.
Among these, the PBMC-humanized mouse model (Hu-PBMC model) is generated by transplanting human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into immunodeficient mice, thereby endowing the mice with partial human immune functions. These cells encompass a variety of immune cell types, including T cells, B cells, and NK cells. This model plays an irreplaceable role in pharmacodynamic studies of immunotherapies and in cancer research. Despite the numerous advantages of the PBMC-humanized mouse model, PBMCs from different donors exhibit variability in their engraftment capacity, their interactions with tumor cells, and their responses to immunotherapeutic agents. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of experiments, rigorous pre-screening is required prior to formal experimentation. The primary objective of pre-screening is to identify PBMC donors that demonstrate stable engraftment and compatibility with tumor cells, thereby enhancing the success rate and reproducibility of the experiments.

(II) Security Assurance Section | Safety First, Defense Prioritized

Compliance‑driven traceability establishes a clear “identity” for the product, but the real test lies in safety. While a multi‑donor pooling strategy ensures batch‑to‑batch consistency, it also inevitably elevates the risk of pathogen introduction. In the face of these associated risks and challenges, Heyousheng has never compromised on its manufacturing standards—relying on more precise design to deliver on its promise of enhanced safety.

This article will examine how Hycells proactively integrates the quality management system into the hospital setting, translating compliance requirements into concrete, actionable practices starting at the sample collection stage, thereby establishing a trust‑based chain that can withstand audit scrutiny.


Compliance as the Foundation, Safety as the Core | The Steadfast Commitment and Confidence Behind Heyou Sheng’s Serum Substitute

In selecting hPL raw materials, Heyousheng consistently upholds the principle that “safety is determined at the source.” The samples used in production are rigorously collected in accordance with applicable standards and undergo stringent donor screening, effectively mitigating the risk of disease transmission at the very outset. Moreover, from informed consent forms and ethical approvals to clinical‑grade collection under the GCP framework, Heyousheng has established a fully traceable documentation chain, ensuring that every sample is accounted for and verifiable. In contrast to the industry’s longstanding reliance on the conventional model of using expired blood supplies from blood banks, this approach represents a structural, generational upgrade.
