• despite defects in T cell selection, mice do not display signs of autoimmunity and do not develop substantial amounts of anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) autoantibodies after zymosan stimulation.
• poor proliferative responses to TCR and CD28 stimulation; however, the T cells partially overcome the proliferative defect in response to higher doses
• significant decrease in the relative percentage and absolute number of CD4 and CD8 single positive subsets
• however, total thymic cellularity is only mildly decreased
• an attenuated TCR-induced increase in cytoplasmic free calcium in thymocytes and peripheral T cells
• defective clonal deletion of Vbeta5 and Vbeta11 thymocytes from endogenous viral superantigens, Mtv-8 and Mtv-9
• numbers of the HSAlo TCRbetahi cells are substantially decreased, as compared with thymocytes from wild-type mice
• absolute numbers of CD4 single positive thymocytes are profoundly reduced, and fewer mature CD4+ T cells are present in the periphery
• absolute numbers of CD8 single positive thymocytes are profoundly reduced, and fewer mature CD8+ T cells are present in the periphery
• increase in percentages of memory CD4 + T cells
• reduction in both thymic regulatory T-cells cell frequency as well as absolute regulatory T-cell numbers
• increase in percentage of CD45RBlo CD4+ T cells
• significant decrease in the absolute number of CD4 and CD8 single positive subsets
• regulatory T-cells are much less efficient at suppressing proliferation of wild-type naive T cells
• significant decrease in the absolute number of CD4 and CD8 single positive subsets
• the percentages of IL-17 producing cells are 6- fold higher than in the wild-type controls
• IL-2 production after CD3 stimulation is greatly reduced
