Figure 6

(a) Analysis of CD8-redirection. BM cells from WT and PKD2/3ΔT mice were transferred into irradiated TAP−/− recipient mice. At 8 weeks after BMT, CD4 and CD8 expression levels on TCRβhi thymocytes were analysed by flow cytometry. The percentage of gated population is indicated. (b) Real time PCR analysis of ThPOK, Runx3 and Runx3d mRNA expressions in CD4+CD8int thymocytes. Results are presented as relative expression of β-actin. **P<0.01, NS, not significant. (c) Flow cytometry analysis of CD4 and CD8 expression on TCRβhi thymocytes from WT, PKD2/3ΔT and PKD2/3ΔT × ThPOK Tg mice. (d) CD5 expression on CD4 SP thymocytes. Data are presented as mean±s.d. of triplicate assays (b) and representative of two (a,b) or three (c,d) independent experiments. Unpaired two-tailed Student's t test is used to calculate P values.
