Erk3 expression is induced during positive selection. Erk3+/− thymocytes were stained with fluorescein digalactopyranoside (FDG) to detect Erk3 transcription. Erk3+/+ thymocytes served as negative controls. (a) Histograms show FDG expression on total double-positive (DP) thymocytes, pre-selection DP thymocytes (CD69) and post-selection DP thymocytes (CD69+). Representative of three independent experiments. (b) The expression of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK3; FDG) is shown for DP1 (TCRlo CD5lo), DP2 (TCRint CD5hi) and DP3 (TCRhi CD5int) thymocytes. Bold numbers on histograms represent the FDG mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of Erk3+/− thymocytes while numbers in parenthesis represent the FDG MFI of Erk3+/+ thymocytes.
