    Ten mouse strains showed comparable immune responses to mitogens and antigens. Lymphocyte counts and antibody-forming abilities were assessed, revealing consistent reactivity across all tested groups.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Genetics
    • Animal Models

    Background:

    • Understanding immune system variability is crucial.
    • Genetically distinct mouse strains offer models for immune studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate immune responses in ten nonhaired mouse strains.
    • To assess reactivity to specific mitogens and antigens.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunofluorescent techniques for lymphocyte enumeration (T and B cells).
    • Plaque-forming cell assays to measure antibody production.
    • Testing with concanavalin A, lipopolysaccharide, sheep erythrocytes, and pneumococcal polysaccharide.

    Main Results:

    • Comparable numbers of T and B lymphocytes across all mouse groups.

  • All mouse strains demonstrated responsiveness to both tested antigens.
  • Consistent reactivity to both mitogens (concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide) was observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Genetically nonhaired mice exhibit predictable immune responses.
    • These mouse strains serve as reliable models for immunological research.
