This paper discusses the use of dogs as experimental models for neuroimmunomodulation and compares immunodeficient dwarfism in dogs to that in rodents. Immunodeficient dwarfism in dogs is reviewed including description of the clinical syndrome, immunologic characteristics, neuroendocrine abnormalities, thymus histopathology, and therapy.
