Abstract excerpt
Mice homozygous for severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) mutation usually halt their thymocyte development at the CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) stage due to their inability of TCR gene rearrangement. In this study, we report that SCID-bg mice, which were originally generated by mating CB-17-sc...
