A
Only 1 and 2
💡 Explanation:

Yes, this is the correct answer. Both are false statements.
Heat-inactivation of serum is done by heating to 56°C for 30 minutes to inactivate complement (a group of proteins present in sera that are part of the immune response).
A nude mouse is a laboratory mouse from a strain with a genetic mutation causing deteriorated or absent thymus. This type of genetic mutation results in an inhibited immune system due to a greatly reduced number of T cells.
