Cure Research discussion for SCID:

Some of the most promising developments in the search for new therapies for SCID center on 'SCID mice', which can be bred deficient in various genes including ADA, JAK3, and IL2RG. It is now possible to reconstitute the impaired mouse immune system by using human components, so these animals provide a very useful model for studying both normal and pathological immune systems in biomedical research.
