Abstract
A human hematopoietic system is provided in an immunocompromised mammalian host, where the hematopoietic system is functional for extended periods of time. Particularly, human fetal liver tissue and human fetal thymus is introduced into an appropriate site of a young immunocompromised mouse at a site supplied with a vascular system, whereby the fetal tissue results in novel formation of functional human bone marrow tissue.
