Talk:Nude mouse

A

"A nude mouse is generally more expensive than an ordinary laboratory mouse, so extra care must be taken while handling Nude Mice."

Stumbled on this page. It seems to me that the same level of "care" should be extended to Nude as well as non nude mice. therefore Im editing this to simply read "A nude mouse is generally more expensive than an ordinary laboratory mouse." I hope you follow me —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.206.233.200 (talk) 19:21, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

BUT- The point is: you have to protect them from outside pathogens more than an ordinary lab mouse, not simply treat them gently.

A question

Mice do not have an autosomal "chromosome 21", they only have 19 chromosomes. Also, I've never heard of a TGF-7 (transforming growth factor?) this point needs more clarity.--199.76.182.68 22:47, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Discovery

I removed the line about discovery at Rachill in the 60s because nude mice seem to have been in use before that. John Duncan 11:14, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Gene Nomenclature

I changed "Foxn1", which is the protein, to "FOXN1", which is the gene.John Duncan 11:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
