Abstract excerpt
Three mutants of the C57 BL/6J strain, i.e., the tight-skin (Tsk), pallid (pa), and beige (bg) mice have been reported to develop spontaneous emphysema. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of this lesion may be different in the three mutants. Differences and similarities of these models were inves...
