Did you mean Immunocompromised Mice?

GlossaryImmunodeficient Mice (Immunocompromised Mice)

laboratory mice with weakened or absent immune systems

Immunodeficient mice, also known as immunocompromised mice, are laboratory mice that have a weakened or entirely absent immune system. This makes them valuable for scientific research, particularly in studying human diseases, cancer, and testing new treatments, as they can accept human cells and tissues without rejecting them.
