Modeling Infectious Disease in the Mouse: Challenges and Innovations
Webinar - Bar Harbor, ME, United States
This webinar will explain how JAX inbred mouse strains can be used to model infection, treatment and prevention of human infectious diseases. Please join us as we discuss the contributions of immunocompetent mice to infection research, with topics that include:
How to develop tuberculosis, anthrax, salmonella and influenza models in BALB/cJ, C57BL/6J, and other inbred strains
The promising future for vaccine development using inbred models
The benefits and limitations of immunodeficient versus immunocompetent disease models
Why genetically stabilized mouse strains from highest health status facilities ensure reproducibility and durability of results
How to use the Mouse Phenome Database to compare susceptibility of different JAX strains to infection
Presenter: Andrew Schile Ph.D., Technical Information Scientist
