Figure 1

Functional characteristics of thymopoiesis in different mouse strains. (a) Number of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) in mice at 10 weeks of age. F1 denotes a hybrid between CBA/J and PWK/PhJ. (b) Number of CD45+ thymocytes. (c) Thymopoietic indices, calculated as dimensionless thymocyte/TEC ratios. (d) Non-linear relationship between thymocyte and TEC numbers; all mice were pooled for this analysis. In (a) to (c), means ± s.e.m.
