• mice exhibit normal positive selection and thymus and spleen cellularity
• defects in thymocyte differentiation
• reduced frequency of post-selection CD69+ double positive thymocytes
• however, the percent of CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocytes is normal
• reduced percent in the percent spleen
• however, the percent in the thymus is normal
• increased percent of Foxp3GFP within CD4+ T cells in the blood by 5 to 6 weeks
• reduced percent of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells within CD4+ single positive thymocytes
• reduced splenic regulatory T cell numbers that is not as severe as in the thymus indicating partial rebound
• CD4+ T cells exhibit mild impairment calcium signaling with reduced duration of elevated intracellular calcium compared with wild-type cells
• however, peak intracellular calcium level is not reduced
• reduced percent in the percent thymus spleen
