Mice bearing the ob/ob mutation have impaired immunity
International Archives of Allergy and Applied Immunology
|January 1, 1978
Abstract:
The obese mutant mouse C57BL/6J ob/ob showed impaired ability to reject skin grafts or react to a contact-sensitising agent in comparison with littermate controls (either +/ob or +/+). Ability of spleen cells from mice bearing the ob/ob mutation to produce a graft-versus-host reaction in C57BL/6J X DBA/2J F1 hybrid mice was not impaired.
