hematopoietic system
• T cells are defective in homeostatic proliferation in a lymphopenic host compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• T cell egression from the thymus is impaired compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the number of conventional alpha/beta T cells are reduced in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and blood compared with wild-type mice
|
• NK1.1-/CD44- stage 1 cells are decreased 4-fold compared to in wild-type mice
• NK1.1-/CD44- stage 2 and 3 cells are decreased greater than 4-fold compared to in wild-type mice
|
• invariant NK T cells are absent from the liver unlike in wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal frequencies of conventional NK cells in the liver
|
• CD8+ cells exhibit reduced surface expression of CD8 compared to in wild-type mice
• TCRbetahigh CD8+ single positive thymocytes exhibit a 2-fold reduction in CD8 expression compared with wild-type cells
|
• invariant NK T cell development is blocked as cells transit stage 1
