About this document
Nude Mice: Key Insights on Immunodeficiency by vorapallavi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Immunodeficiency refers to the inability of the immune system to combat infectious diseases. Nude mice, or athymic mice, are genetically modified to lack a thymus, making them valuable in biomedical research for studying immunologic mechanisms, tumors, and transplantation due to their susceptibility to infections. They cannot produce T cells and have a high mortality rate without intervention, making them ideal for experiments involving grafts and cancer treatments.
