immune system
• the presence of HY TCR alleviates the beta-selection block of developing T cells found in Ptcratm1Vbo homozygotes resulting in higher T cell numbers being found in the thymus and the spleen
• the presence of the selecting H2d allele contributes to the rescue of T cell development by the HY-TCR
• despite the increased numbers of thymocytes, the CD25+ thymocyte sub-population still remains very low
