small thymus
(
J:77695
)
• the thymus is one tenth the size in wild-type mice
|
• thymocyte size is larger than in wild-type mice
• following injection with anti-CD3epsilon thymocytes fail to mature or differentiate as do thymocyte from wild-type mice
• thymocyte development blocked at the CD25+ CD44- stage
• all thymocytes were CD4- CD8-
|
• mice lack CD4-CD8- TCR-alpha beta+ thymocytes, thymic and peripheral gamma delta TCR+ T cells, peripheral alpha beta TCR+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes
