hematopoietic system
• treatment of thymocytes and peripheral T cells with anti-CD3 to mimic high affinity TCR interaction results in less apoptosis than observed in heterozygous controls
|
• at 2-5 weeks of age, thymi are generally ~10% larger than in heterozygotes; by 29 to 32 weeks of age, difference has become ~30%
|
• small but significant increase in total number of thymocytes is seen compared to heterozygous controls
|
• induction of DP thymocytes by anti-CD3, suggesting that negative selection is impaired by deficiency
|
