immune system
• there is a lower percentage of CD44loCD4+ T cells in the blood than in controls
• nave CD4 T cell population is only 12% that of controls
|
• the nave CD8 T cell population is 30% of that in controls
|
• regulatory T cell numbers are decreased more in the thymus than the CD4 single positive thymocyte population
|
• the CD4 and CD8 single-positive thymocyte populations are significantly smaller than in controls
• significant loss in the immature CD4+ subset in the thymus
