ImmunoCards Episode 4: Mice as the 4 Weather Seasons!

You simply cannot claim to be an immunologist without knowing which mouse strains dominate preclinical immunology research.

Which mouse model do YOU work with? 🐭😊

Here’s a fun challenge for my network:

Can you guess the logic behind assigning each mouse model to one of the 4 seasons? 🍂❄️🌸☀️
(Let’s see how sharp your attention to detail really is! 😉 )

And the most surprising discovery in this episode?

The OT-I transgenic mouse model — which is engrafted with OVA-primed TCR transgenic CD8+ cells. Quite the game-changer! 😲

Dive in, learn, and share your thoughts!
