immune system
• CD4 T cell development is blocked at the double positive stage 3 step where high surface expression of TCR beta is needed to develop precursors into mature CD4+ T cells
• analysis of various developmental markers (Bim, Rag1, Gata3, Zbtb7b) places developmental arrest of CD4 T cells after positive selection of the TCR but before CD4 T cell lineage commitment
• this defect is intrinsic to the T cell precursors as revealed by mixed bone marrow chimera experiments in irradiated wild-type hosts
• CD4+ and CD4+CD8lo thymocytes are virtually absent in the thymus
• there are 24- and 16-fold reductions in the frequency and absolute number of splenic CD4+ T cells compared to wild-type controls
• splenic CD4+ T cells are also CD44+ indicating a large expansion of a few CD4 T cells that manage to develop in the thymus
• NKT cells are severely reduced both in the thymus and spleen
• the frequency of Foxp3+ T cells in the thymus is reduced more than 10-fold
• few Foxp3+ T cells are found in the spleen with the many of these cells not expression CD4 or CD25
• 42% of CD8+ T cells are also CD44+ indicating an expansion of the CD8+ T cell population that leaves the thymus
• CD8+ T cells have a some reduction in cytoxic activity compared to controls

• about twice as much CD8+ T cells are found in the thymus of double knockouts compared to mice homozygote for just the B2mtm1Jae allele
• about 5-fold more CD8+ T cells are found in the spleen of double knockouts compared to mice homozygote for just the B2mtm1Jae allele
• numbers of CD8+ T cells in both the thymus and spleen are still well below normal numbers indicating the vast majority of CD8+ T cells are Class I-dependent
