PON1−/− results in a reduction in T cell numbers that is not dependent on the thymic microenvironment. (a) Schematic overview of the strategy for bone marrow transplantation. (b) Chimerisms of donor-derived cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of irradiated recipient rats at 2, 4, and 6 weeks after transplantation with either PON1+/+ or PON1−/− BM cells (n = 9). (c) The percentage of GFP-derived T cells in the PB of PON1+/+ or PON1−/− recipient rats 6-weeks after transplantation (n = 9). (d) Schematic overview of the strategy for bone marrow transplantation. (e) Chimerisms of donor-derived cells in the PB of irradiated recipient rats from 2, 4, and 6 weeks after transplantation with GFP BM cells (n = 5). (f) The percentage of PON1+/+- or PON1−/–derived T cells in the PB of GFP recipient rats 6 weeks after transplantation (n = 5). Data represent the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
