WAS-deficient mice transplanted with WAS LVV-transduced murine Lin- BM cells: increased B cells, platelets, granulocytes; improved T, B and DC function
“In vivo pharmacology studies conducted using surrogate lineage negative (Lin-) BM cells transduced with WAS LVV transplanted into WAS-deficient mice demonstrated increased B cell, platelet, and granulocyte cell counts and improved T cell, B cell and DC function.”

Why that model
Autologous human cells cannot be used in animal models, limiting nonclinical studies
“The impossibility of using autologous human cells in animal models limits the scope of possible nonclinical studies.”
Models considered acceptable as surrogate of Waskyra-transduced HSPCs
“The pharmacology, toxicology and genotoxicity of Waskyra were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The models used were considered acceptable as surrogate of HPSC transduced with Waskyra.”
