Effects of NP34 or I-E on the number of F5+CD8+ SP T cells

Genotype Spleen Lymph nodes
F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+ 7.5 ± 2.8 × 106 3.6 ± 1.8 × 106
F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+NP34+ 1.4 ± 0.37 × 106 0.59 ± 0.47 × 106
F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+I-E+ 0.9 ± 0.45 × 106 0.14 ± 0.095 × 106

The NP34 transgene reduces the absolute numbers of CD8+ splenocytes and lymph node cells. Cells from F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+NP34+, positively selecting F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+, and negatively selecting F5+Rag-1−/−Tap-1+I-E+ lymphoid organs were isolated and counted. Cells were stained with anti-CD8 antibodies and analyzed by FACS. The absolute numbers of CD8+ T cells were calculated by multiplying the total cell number per organ with the percentage of CD8+ cells. Mean numbers of CD8+ T cells from six to eight mice of each genotype are shown. SDs are indicated.
