NOD SCID

The strain was developed on background of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse with spontaneous scid mutation. NOD SCID mouse, insusceptible to diabetes, possesses reduced activity of T cells and B cells, and defect in innate immunity.NOD SCID mouse is compatible with a wider range of engraftment of cell lines in comparison with nude mouse; And it is broadly applied to construction of PDX models. However, due to a short life span(8-9 months) caused by lethal thymic lymphomas, it is unsuitable for long-term in vivo assays.

Fig5. Pathological examination of various tissues in NOD SCID mice. Thymus was absent in NOD SCID mice, and no significant pathologic abnormalities were found in the other tissues examined (8-week old, A males, B females).
