Genetic Variability, immunologic experiences and antigenic challenges in humans and mice. Humans are genetically more diverse and are subjected to highly variable, immunological experiences that shapes immune system development and function. Immunologic experiences in mice can be manipulated using different animal housing and husbandry protocols as well as exposure to a more diverse or natural microbiota.
