hematopoietic system
• thymocytes from mutant mice shows enhanced apoptosis to TCR/CD3 and Fas stimulation
• without stimulation, three- to fourfold increases of apoptotic cells in freshly isolated CD4+ and CD8+ single-positive thymocytes over the control cells (there was no such increase for mutant double-positive cells)
|
• total thymocyte numbers were not significantly different from wild-type
• in 3-5 weeks old mice the percentages of CD4+ and CD8+ single-positive thymocytes were reduced by 50-70%
• the numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood, spleen and lymph nodes were significantly reduced
