Splenic TCR repertoire is not markedly affected by cell-specific H-2Kb deletion. Splenocytes were isolated from naïve 6–8-week-old animals (N = 3 per group) and stained with anti-CD45, anti-CD4, and anti-CD8 antibodies, as well as antibodies specific to each of the T-cell receptor Vβ regions listed. CD8+ T cells (a) and CD4+ T cells (b) isolated from the spleen show highly similar T-cell repertoires, with TCR Vβ5 only impacted peripherally. Data presented as mean with error bars representing standard error of the mean (SEM). * denotes p < 0.05 as measured by two-way ANOVA with Holm−Sidak correction
