  • Title: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in the mouse. Pathology, reconstitution, neoplasms.
    Author: Custer RP, Bosma GC, Bosma MJ.
    Journal: Am J Pathol; 1985 Sep; 120(3):464-77. PubMed ID: 2412448.
    Abstract:
    Histologic findings in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) were remarkably uniform, consisting of lymphopenia, a rudimentary thymic medulla without cortex, relatively empty splenic follicles and lymph nodes, and undeveloped bronchial and gastrointestinal lymphocytic foci. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter studies revealed a few T cells (apparently nonfunctional) in thymus and spleen; interestingly, these cells seemed highly disposed to neoplasia, because thymic T-cell lymphomas were observed in 41 of 269 mice. No pre-B or B cells could be identified. Cells of the myeloid lineage appeared normal. Reconstitution of lymphoid tissues was achieved after intravenous injection of histocompatible bone marrow cells.
