A new reliable method for evaluation of foot pad swelling as an experimental in vivo immune phenomenon.
Weight determination of replicas of the feet from living mice is described as a new method for evaluating the degree of the experimentally induced foot pad swelling in immunized mice. The new method gives objective, well documentable results and offers advantage to the commonly used assay with the dial calliper gauge when there is need for a good documentation or whenever there is a large number of animals to be tested within a narrow time margin.
