Development of lymphocytes in NOD/SCID/IL2rγnullrecipients. (A) The flow cytometric analysis of human T cells in recipients. The majority of cells in the thymus were hCD4+hCD8+ double-positive thymocytes (top). The CD3+ spleen cells contained hCD4+ or hCD8+ single-positive mature T cells (bottom). (B) hCD34+hCD19+ pro-B, hCD10+hCD19+ pre-B, and hCD19+hCD20hi mature B cells were seen in different proportions in the bone marrow and the spleen of recipient mice. Numbers represent percentages within total nucleated cells. (C) B cells expressing each class of human immunoglobulin heavy chain were seen in the bone marrow, the peripheral blood (PB), or the spleen of engrafted NOD/SCID/IL2rγnull mice. Numbers represent percentages out of nucleated cells.
