immune system
• the percentage of DP thymocytes is consistently higher in male mice than in male transgenics on a wild-type background, which suggests that negative selection occurs less efficiently
|
• higher double positive thymocyte numbers and fewer single-positive thymoyctes in females indicate a defect in positive selection
|
• double-positive thymocytes are increased in female mice
|
• CD8 single-positive thymocyte nubmers are reduced in these female mice
