immune system
• thymocyte number is variably decreased by 2- to 30- fold less than controls
• thymocytes express very low levels of TCR
|
• alpha-beta T cell development is partially blocked at the double-negative to the double-positive transition
|
• the relative number of double negative thymocytes is increased compared to controls
• a double negative population is found in the lymph nodes
|
• relative and total number of double positive thymocytes is decreased in these mice
|
• CD4 T cell numbers are decreased in the lymph node
|
• CD8 T cell numbers are decreased in the lymph node
|
• single-positive thymocyte numbers are dramatically reduced
|
• IEL numbers in the gut are decreased
• these IELs consistently express lower levels of TCR and CD3epsilon
|
