• unlike null mice without the transgene, thymic cellularity, the ratio of CD4+ to CD8+ cells in the thymus, T cell maturation in the spleen, and the numbers of gamma delta T and NK cells are normal
|
• absence of CD45R+ IgM+ cells in the bone marrow
|
• the ability of splenic T cells to secrete IL12 in response to T cell receptor plus CD28 stimulation decreases with age (from 25 to 42 days of age)
|
• as mice age the proportion of CD4+ T cells that resemble activated or memory T cells increases
• this correlates with the decrease in transgene expression in the periphery as mice age
|
• the proliferative response of splenic T cells in response to T cell receptor plus CD28 stimulation is reduced
