Humanization can be necessary when the process of developing a specific antibody involves generation in a non-human immune system (such as that in mice).

Problems posed by the differences in the human and rodent immune systems have been overcome using a few strategies, so as to enable researchers to study autoimmune disorders using humanized models. As a result, the use of humanized mouse models has extended to various areas of immunology and disease research.
