immune system
• in culture, the initial number of double positive T cell undergoing apoptosis is greater than for wild-type cells
• however, the rate of apoptosis in vitro is normal
• the total number of thymocytes is reduced by half of wild-type
• the total number of thymocytes is reduced by half of wild-type
• the number of single positive T cells in the thymus is lower than in wild-type mice
• however, the number of double positive cells is normal
• T cell development is partially blocked after pre-TCR signaling and the DN4 population is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• mice exhibit an increase in double negative T cell compared to in wild-type mice up to stage DN4
• the total number of inguinal lymph node cells is decreased by half of wild-type

• the rate of T cells undergoing apoptosis in culture is slightly greater than in wild-type and Nfatc3tm1Grc/Nfatc3tm1Grc Tg(Lck-cre)I57Jxm mice
• however, the number of T cells initially undergoing apoptosis is normal
• T cell development is partially blocked after pre-TCR signaling and the DN4 population is reduced compared to in wild-type mice but is not more severe than in Nfatc3tm1Grc/Nfatc3tm1Grc Tg(Lck-cre)I57Jxm mice
• mice exhibit an increase in DN1 and subsequently a more severe decrease in the number of DN4 T cells compared to in wild-type, Nfactc3 null or Nfact2 null mice
