NCoR1 is required to prevent excessive negative selection. a Flow cytometry analysis of 5 subpopulations (left) by MHCI and CD69 expression on total NCoR1-deficient (cKO) and wild-type (WT) thymocytes (n = 3 to 5). The right panel shows CD4 and CD8 expression on gated population #3. b The proportion of population #3 (left) and CD4dullCD8dull subsets in population #3 (right). c Intracellular levels of Act.Casp.3 detected by flow cytometry in the CD69hiMHCICD4dullCD8dull subsets from cKO and WT mice (n = 4 to 5 for each group). d Flow cytometry analysis of CD4 and CD8 expression on total thymocytes 6 weeks after transferring bone marrow cells from OT-II TCR-transgenic cKO or WT mice into irradiated rat insulin promoter-ovalbumin (RIP-OVA) transgenic mice (n = 4 to 5). e TCR Vα2 expression of total thymocytes from the mice in (d). The data are representative of three independent experiments (a, b) or two independent experiments (c, d). Statistical significance was analyzed using the two-tailed Student’s t test (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
