mortality/aging

hematopoietic system
• the population of double positive CD4/CD8 cells in thymus gradually becomes reduced in 2-3 week old mice
• absence of B cells and precursors in E18.5 livers
• few or no B220 positive cells are present in bone marrow or spleen
• no IgM positive cells are found
• spleen degenerates in first three weeks of life
