Increased thymopoiesis in mice with depletion of AR in epithelial cells (E-ARKO). (A,B) Thymus weight and cellularity in control (K5-Cre⁺; n = 11) and E-ARKO (AR^flK5-Cre⁺; n = 10) male mice. (C–F) Number of double negative (DN; CD4⁻CD8⁻), double positive (DP; CD4⁺CD8⁺), and single positive (SP; CD4⁺ or CD8⁺) thymocytes in control (n = 11) and E-ARKO (n = 10) mice. ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001 (Mann-Whitney U-test); all bars indicate means; circles represent individual mice, error bars indicate SEM.
