hematopoietic system
• double-positive thymocytes from mutant mice undergo enhanced apoptosis by TCR-stimulation
|
• the average numbers of total thymocytes were reduced by half
• the number of cells at the double-negative stage was not different
|
• 4- to 6-fold fewer CD4 and CD8 single-positive cells compared to control
• in 3-4 weeks old mutant mice, there were 7- to 9-fold fewer peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
• in 8-9 weeks old mutant mice, T cell numbers were more similar
