Table 1.

The proportion of the different T and B cell populations within the thymus and spleen of wild-type, nfkb1−/−, c-rel−/−, and nfkb1−/− c-rel−/− mice of 8–10 weeks of age were determined by flow cytometry using the B- and T cell-specific mAbs as described in Materials and Methods

The mean ± SD were based upon the analysis of six mice of each genotype.
