Hi, I am looking for a generic and simple method to evaluate an immune status/potential of mice. I am not an Immunology person (my field is DNA repair), so any advice will be much appreciated. Basically, I want to see if immune system is activated/enhanced after low dose gamma-irradiation. This treatment leads to lower frequency of spontaneous tumors and longer latency times. But DNA repair assays failed to show any enhancement. I am therefore wondering if it is immune system that causes the effect. I am interested in a general immune status assessment rather that specific pathways. Thanks. Dmitry
