FIGURE 3

Changes of thymus, spleen tissue structure, and number of lymphocytes in Rag2/IL2rg-/- gene double-knockout mice. Six-week mutated and wild-type BALB/c mice were sacrificed. Various organs were extracted, and the organ/weight ratio calculated (A,B). Spleen and thymus tissues were sectioned and stained with the H&E method (C). Peripheral blood was collected from tail veins and, after dilution, sample were stained with FITC-CD3, PE-NKp46, and APC-220 antibodies and detected by flow cytometry FCM (D). Data are presented in the format of mean ± standard deviation of 3 independent experiments performed in triplicate (p ≤ 0.05, ∗∗p ≤ 0.01, compared with controls).
