immune system
• thymus medulla is smaller while the cortex is unaffected
|
• T cell development is partially arrested between the double-positive and single-positive stages
• heat stable antigen and CD69 expression levels suggest defects in positive selection of the single-positive thymocytes
• bone marrow chimera experiments demonstrate defects are intrinsic to hematopoietic cells
|
• CD4+ T cell numbers are reduced 10-fold in the periphery
• CD4-single positive thymocyte numbers are reduced by about 60%
|
• CD8+ T cell numbers are reduced 3-fold in the periphery
• CD8-single positive thymocyte numbers are reduced by 40%
