immune system
• positive but not negative selection is impaired as evidenced by the low number of anti-HY (male antigen) T cells found in female mice
|
• there is about a 2-fold drop peripheral CD4 T cells for female but not male mice compared to controls
|
• there is a decrease (greater than 2-fold) in CD4-single positive thymocytes that express the transgenic TCR in female mice
|
• there is about a 2-fold drop in lymph node cellularity for female but not male mice compared to controls
