Table 2.

Maximum likelihood estimates of the means and variances of the log-abundances in Ep (TCR-restricted) and Wt (wild-type) mice repertoires along with bias-corrected, two-sided 95% confidence bounds generated via parametric bootstrap. In each population the regulatory (TR) and naive (TN) T-cells from (1) lymph nodes and (2) thymus are considered.
