Absence of Lymphoproliferation in Hematopoietic Fas^−/−→Ldlr^−/− Chimeric Mice

			P
	WT→Ldlr−/−	Fas−/−→Ldlr−/−	value
Body weight (g)	19.7 ± 1.3	20.2 ± 0.6	NS
Spleen weight (mg)	108.9 ± 28.3	108.9 ± 39.8	NS
Spleen/body weight (mg/g)	5.6 ± 1.3	5.4 ± 1.9	NS
Lymphadenopathy	Not detected	Not detected

Lymphoproliferation parameters were assessed in WT→Ldlr^−/− (n = 15) and Fas^−/−→Ldlr^−/− (n = 11) chimeric mice after 16 weeks on an 0.5% cholesterol diet. Data are reported as means ± SD; NS, not significant.
