Considering the 3R rules of animal experimentation, we asked if refined scoring of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice improves documentation of clinical EAE allowing to perform a more powerful statistical analysis. Surprisingly, refined EAE scoring failed to improve statistical outcome comparing the overall disease courses between two groups of mice.
考虑到动物实验的 3R 原则,我们想知道是否可以通过对实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)在小鼠中的评分进行细化,来改进临床 EAE 的记录,从而进行更强大的统计分析。令人惊讶的是,与两组小鼠的整体疾病过程相比,细化的 EAE 评分并没有改善统计结果。
