Comparison of mouse strains: their dominant responses, antibodies involved for testing and list of experiments.

Mouse strain Basic description Biological elements Experiments
BALB/c Anti-inflammatory response dominates Th2, Treg dominate (Treg treated with: anti-CD25 antibodies) 1,4
C57BL/6 Pro-inflammatory response dominates Th17, Th1 dominate (treated with: anit-IL-6, anti-IL-12p40 antibodies) 2,5–8
STAT6 KO BALB/c BALB/c mice with Th2 response removed Treg dominates 3

Note: the Th2 response has both pro- and anti-inflammatory characteristics
