Absolute number and frequency of TCRβ+ T cells in the thymus of Cx43+/+, Cx43+/− and Cx43−/− neonates
| Genotype . | % TCRαβ+ cells* . | TCRαβ+cells × 105 . |
|---|---|---|
| Cx43+/+ (n = 6) | 22.6 ± 6.8 | 4.3 ± 1.4 |
| Cx43+/− (n = 5) | 11.8 ± 5.0 | 3.9 ± 1.2 |
| Cx43−/− (n = 3) | 7.9 ± 3.7 | 2.4 ± 1.4 |
| Genotype . | % TCRαβ+ cells* . | TCRαβ+cells × 105 . |
