• total thymic cellularity is unaffected
|
• CD4 thymocytes reduced by 4.6% rather than 8.7%
|
• moderate reduction of CD8+ thymocytes, by 1.3% as compared to 2.4%
|
• increased number of CD4+ cells with an activated memory phenotype
|
• peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ numbers are reduced modestly in younger mice
|
• significantly increased numbers of CD4+ cells by 6 months of age
• CD4+ numbers are preferentially expanded relative to CD8+ cells
|
• beginning at about 3-4 months of age
|
• greatly increased spleen weights at 6 months of age
|
• slight impairment after stimulation
• impairment greater for CD4+ than for CD8+
