immune system
• the majority of double-positive (DP) thymocytes fail to upregulate CD5 and CD2, which are indicators of pre-TCR signaling
• cultured DP thymocytes upon stimulation fail to lower expression of CD4 and CD8, and increase expression of Nur77
• there is a partial defect in transitioning from DN3 cells to DN4 cells
• there is a significant skewing towards CD4 single positive T cells in the ratio of CD4:CD8 T cells in the thymus
• the frequency and absolute number of NKT in the thymus is drastically reduced
• the number of NKT cells is also reduced in the spleen and liver
• expression of NK1.1 on the remaining NKT cells in thymus, liver, and spleen is markedly diminished
• DP and CD4 single positive thymocytes flux less calcium upon in vitro activation

• 80% less B cells pulsed with antigen are conjugated by double positive thymocytes
• upon conjugation, thymocytes have impaired TCR-induced actin polymerization
• there is an approximate 75% loss of transgenic TCR expression by CD4 single positive cells in the thymus
• the percentage of CD4 single positive T cells in the thymus is reduced almost 20-fold compared mice carrying the transgenic TCR alone
