Mice, notorious for having evolved to suit unclean conditions and being able to survive as carriers of disease and parasites will definitely have a different set of evolved resistances and immunities to us. It's pretty ludacris science believes them to be a good point of comparison.

    It's just an early testing phase, more of an "ok, this drug kind of did what we want in mice, and the mice didn't explode. It's time to move to the next stage of testing on something more human analogue, like a pig."
