It is an object of the present invention to provide an immunodeficient
animal capable of generating human-derived lymphoid cells, a
human-derived lymphoid cell, and a method for producing a human
antigen-specific antibody. The means for solving the aforementioned
object is: an immature immunodeficient mammal into which human-derived
hematopoietic precursor cells have been transplanted, and which is able
to generate said human-derived hematopoietic cells or immunocompetent
cells; and a method for producing a human-derived antibody, which is
characterized in that it comprises recovering immunocompetent cells from
the above-described mammal, culturing the immunocompetent cells, and
collecting a human-derived antibody from the obtained culture product.
