Animal models for immunodeficiency diseases.
Immunodeficient animals continue to provide insights into the development and function of the immune system. These animals also serve as models for the propagation of normal and malignant human cells and as hosts for infectious agents, including HIV. New developments in basic and applied research using immunodeficient animals were discussed at a recent workshop.
