• homozygous mutant mice exhibit nearly complete absence of CD8+ T cells in the blood

• homozygous mutant mice fail to kill class I MHC-deficient target cells of natural killer (NK) cells in vivo
|
• mice homozygous for this mutation fail to kill antigen-specific target cells of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vivo
