immune system
• reduced proliferation when stimulated with monoclonal antibody to CD3e
|
• increased proportion of double negative thymocytes
• absolute number of double negative thymocytes is normal
|
• less than 10% of number in controls
|
• less than 10% of number in controls
|
• 90% reduction in thymocyte number
|
cellular
• fewer T cells entering S phase
|
• reduced viability of thymocytes in culture
• reduced survival of T cells when stimulated with monoclonal antibody to CD3e
|
• increased thymocyte sensitivity of gamma-irradiation
|
• reduced proliferation when stimulated with monoclonal antibody to CD3e
|
neoplasm
• only about 12% with tumors
• most tumors are peripheral rather than thymic
|
hematopoietic system
• reduced proliferation when stimulated with monoclonal antibody to CD3e
|
• 90% reduction in thymocyte number
|
• increased proportion of double negative thymocytes
• absolute number of double negative thymocytes is normal
