Next, they grafted this lab - grown gene - altered skin onto mice with intact immune systems. (sciencedaily.com)
But until now, researchers have had a hard time studying ILCs because it hasn't been possible to selectively eliminate them in the context of an otherwise intact immune system. (sciencedaily.com)
Unlike other mice used to study the virus, the Hopkins mice have completely intact immune systems more similar to humans, which enable researchers to see all that is involved in mounting an immune response. (sciencedaily.com)
