DOIAbstract
<p>125 to 135 days old SCID and NMRI nude mice from different providers were imaged with MRI to evaluate the developmental stage of the spleens (arrows). For SCID mice, animals purchased from Charles River (A) and Harlan (B) showed poorly developed, diffuse, and small spleens while animals from Taconic (C) had solid, compact, and relatively large spleens. NMRI nude mice from Charles River (D) and Scanbur (E) showed fully developed spleens with a similar appearance.</p
