hematopoietic system
|
• thymus cellularity is reduced about 97%
|
|
• the absolute number of double negative cells is decreased about 40% however the proportion of double negative cells is increased to about 60% of total thymocytes
• about 90% of the double negative cells are CD44-CD25+ DN3 cells
|
|
• the absolute number of double positive cells is greatly decreased
|
|
• a block in thymocyte maturation at the DN3 stage or in the transition from DN3 to DN4 appears to occur
|
