Table 1.
Proportion and absolute number of NK1.1+γ/δ T cells in the thymus and the liver of β2m-deficient mice
| Thymus | Liver | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NK1.1+γ/δ T cells in CD4− CD8−γ/δ T cells (%) | Total NK1.1+ γ/δ Τ cells ( × 104) | NK1.1+γ/δ T cells in γ/δ T cells (%) | Total NK1.1+ γ/δ T cells ( × 104) | |
| β2m−/− | 38·1 ± 2·8* | 2·9 ± 0·7* | 43·9 ± 11·5* | 5·6 ± 1·9* |
| β2m+/+ | 15·0 ± 3·4 | 0·7 ± 0·2 | 23·2 ± 4·8 | 1·4 ± 0·9 |
Values represent mean±SD of nine individual determinations.
*
P < 0·05 by Student's t-test compared with the values for β2m+/+ mice.
