hematopoietic system
• 40-100 fold reduction in cell numbers in the thymus
|
• absence of double positive T cells
|
• T cells become arrested when cre inactivation occurs primarily at DN4 stage but sometimes earlier
• leads to expression of CD4 and to death of T cells
|
• very small numbers of CD4+ cells
|
• absence of CD8+ cells
|
