RE: Why do they line the petrie dish with mouse embryos?

I don't know. I read it in the descriptions of Herceptin on the internet. Maybe some of the scientists on the board could explain. Two of the oncs in the medical practice where I go thought I was being paranoid getting tested for an allergy to mouse protein. One onc thought I did a good thing. As a lifetime asthmatic, I'm always worried about allergic reactions. MJo
