The copy number, percentages and MFIs of hCD2 positive (>1.0%) cells within CD8SP, DP and mature CD8 subsets are shown. For each transgenic line, at least 3 mice were tested, and no significant variation of reporter expression was observed in any transgenic line after 2–3 generations. Sil/Var: Silenced/Variegated. N.A, not analyzed.
