CD4/CD8 subsets as a proportion of total thymocytes

Sample	CD4−/CD8−	CD4+/CD8+	CD4+/CD8−	CD4−/CD8+
Control†, %	7.06 ± 1.2‡	83.0 ± 1.4	3.35 ± 0.32	6.48 ± 0.68
DSS§, %	10.7 ± 4.4	75.4% ± 11.5	5.17 ± 3.2	8.73 ± 4.1
Change, %	51.6**	−9.16	54.3	34.7

**P < 0.05.

^†Control (n = 10) and mice fed 1% DSS in drinking water for 2 wk (n = 11) were used.

^‡Data shown is percent of total thymocytes ± SD.

^§Total cell number in thymus of DSS-treated mice declined 57%.
