hematopoietic system
• at E15.5-18.5, embryos have ~30-50% lower numbers of alphabeta- gammadelta+ and Vgamma3+ Thy-1.2+ thymocytes relative to controls
• populations of Vgamma3+ HSAhigh Vgamma3+ HASlow cells are reduced, also
|
• occurrence of N regions (addition of nucleotides at V-(D)-J junctions) in T-cell receptor genes is lower in homozygotes, thus reducing potential rearrangements of TCRs in T cell generation
|
• decrease in gammadelta+ T cells relative to wild-type
