hematopoietic system
small thymus
(
J:72942
)
• homozygotes display a significant reduction in thymus size relative to wild-type or heterozygous control littermates
|
• at 3 to 26 weeks of age, homozygotes display a ~30% reduction in thymocyte cellularity, with a proportional decrease in each thymocyte subpopulation
• however, thymocyte development and thymus architecture appear to be normal, and no differences are observed in T-cell selection or splenocyte number relative to gender- and age-matched wild-type littermates
|
• on average, homozygotes exhibit ~30% fewer thymocytes than wild-type control littermates
• however, the percentages of each thymocyte subpopulation (CD4SP, CD8SP, DP, and DN) are comparable to those of control littermates
