a, Total thymocytes from 6- to 8-week-old C57BL/6 female mice were divided into DN, DP, CD4SP and CD8SP populations based on expression of CD4 and CD8α (CD8). b,c, Histograms (b) and quantification (c) of PIP2 in each thymocyte subset are depicted (n = 4) MFI, mean fluorescence intensity. d, DN cells were divided into four stages (DN1–DN4) based on the expression of CD44 and CD25. e, DN3 cells were subgated into DN3a and DN3b subsets based on intracellular TCRβ (icTCRβ) and surface expression of CD27 assessed by flow cytometry. f,g, Histograms (f) and quantification (g) of PIP2 in each DN subset were assessed. h, DP thymocytes were subdivided based on amounts of CD5 and TCRβ (DP1 = CD5loTCRβlo, DP2 = CD5intTCRβlo, DP3 = CD5hiTCRβlo, DP4 = CD5hiTCRβint, DP5 = CD5hiTCRβhi). i,j, Histograms (i) and quantification (j) of PIP2 in each DP subset were assessed and are presented. iso, isotype control. k, Quantification of TCRβ in each DP subset. n = 4. Data are shown as the mean ± s.e.m. and are representative of three independent experiments. P values were determined using an unpaired, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with multiple comparisons.
