hematopoietic system
• the total number of thymocytes is unchanged however the percent and total number of CD4 single positive cells is significantly decreased and the percent and total number of CD8 single positive cells is slightly decreased
• after 5 generations of backcrossing onto a C57BL/6J background slightly increased compared to wild-type
|
• a small but consistent increase in CD5 expression is seen compared to wild-type littermates
