Summary of CD4/8 distribution of Foxp3⁺ thymocytes^a

EDTA	−	+	−	+
	Large Gate		Small Gate
CD8SP	3.1 ± 0.5	3.2 ± 0.6	4.0 ± 0.1	3.4 ± 0.8
CD4SP	68.8 ± 10	86.8 ± 0.9	87.8 ± 1.5	91.4 ± 1.2
DP	21.5 ± 11	4.1 ± 0.2	1.27 ± 0.4	1.4 ± 0.2

^aData shown are the mean frequencies of Foxp3⁺ thymocytes that fall into the DP, CD4SP, and CD8SP gates as per Fig. 2. EDTA indicates whether 1 mM EDTA and avoidance of centrifugation was used to diminish cell-cell interactions. Large and small gates represent those shown in Fig. 2.
