The immunodeficient scid mouse as a model for human lymphatic filariasis.
1 Mar 1991
Abstract excerpt
The C.B.-17-scid/scid mouse (hereafter referred to as the scid mouse) is homozygous for a recessive mutation at a locus that influences the assembly of intact immunoglobulin and T cell receptor genes.
