Increased expression of K^bm3 in a TAP-deficient environment does not influence the selection of 2C T cells. Cell profiles of hβ₂m transgenic mice. (A) Flow cytometric analysis of total thymocytes derived from TAP-deficient K^bm3-transgenic mice that either do or do not express a hβ₂m transgene. (B) Histograms show 2C expression levels in total splenocytes or thymocytes as monitored with 1B2, and the dot plots show the CD4 CD8 profiles of the cells expressing high 2C. The gating and percentage representation for these cells is the same as described for Fig. 1. Comparison of these profiles with their counterparts from Fig. 1 reveals no significant differences.
