The Scid-hu Mouse: Current Status and Potential Applications

  • Conference paper
The Scid Mouse

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 152))

Abstract

The detailed analysis of physiology and pathophysiology in man is a difficult and frequently impossible task. In many instances, volunteers will not serve as experimental subjects; multiple variables cannot be simultaneously explored; and placebo-controlled trials are confounded by intervening social dynamics. Animals, used instead as surrogates for man, then only provide approximate models of uncertain relevance. For most diseases affecting man, even animal models are unavailable, precisely because these diseases affect only man.
