Which mice strain should I use for studying Keratitis?

11 May 2015 1 7K Report

As we know that variation exists between dimensions and morphology of cornea in different strains of mice. Even the susceptibility and resistance to some group of pathogens has been observed (eg. C57BL/6 susceptible to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and resistant to Staphylococcus aureus etc.). Considering different factors (corneal diameter, thickness, cost effectiveness and handling etc) which mice strain do you prefer for studying Keratitis?

Morad Amir Ahmad

I think all of them are important, It is better we considering different factors (corneal diameter, thickness, cost effectiveness and handling etc) in our study.
