immune system

decreased CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell number ( J:300461 )

• mice have slightly fewer CD4 single positive T cells in the thymus

• however, no major changes are observed in T cell development or function

decreased CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell number ( J:300461 )

• mice have slightly fewer CD8 single positive T cells in the thymus and lymph nodes

hematopoietic system

decreased CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell number ( J:300461 )

• mice have slightly fewer CD4 single positive T cells in the thymus

• however, no major changes are observed in T cell development or function

decreased CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell number ( J:300461 )

• mice have slightly fewer CD8 single positive T cells in the thymus and lymph nodes

homeostasis/metabolism

abnormal protein level ( J:300461 )

• thymocyte lysates show a decrease in the level and molecular size of TMC6 protein, but no Tmc6 mRNA reduction, relative to wild-type cells

• a decrease in CIB1 (calcium and integrin binding 1) protein level is observed in thymocytes and lymph node cells, with no apparent Cib1 mRNA reduction in thymocytes
