The nude mouse cannot mount an immune response

nude mouse

The nude mouse has a defect in its immune system, and can only live if protected from pathogens. The mouse to the right has a transplant of rabbit skin, and can't reject the foreign tissue. Mice with immune deficiencies are very useful in cancer research because human cancer cells can grow into tumors allowing new ways to test cancer therapy.

nerd moment of the day! yay!

i was just very amused by that sentence: "the nude mouse cannot mount an immune response" and by the picture. i want to say it again! The nude mouse cannot mount an immune response!!!
