hematopoietic system
• by 14 weeks of age, thymus is almost undetectable in ~50% of the animals
|
• at 10 weeks, significant inhibition of negative selection is observed; however, substantial negative selection occurs, as male thymi contain 1/100 the number of cells found in females
|
• at 10 weeks, significant inhibition of negative selection is observed; however, substantial negative selection occurs, as male thymi contain 1/100 the number of cells found in females
• positive selection is not impaired
