Fig. 3From: T cells affect thymic involution during puberty by inducing regression of the adrenal reticularisAdrenalectomy prevents anti-CD3-activated T cell-mediated thymic atrophy. Adrenalectomized (n = 3), sham-operated (n = 6), or intact (n = 8) mice received i.p. anti-CD3 antibodies at 6 weeks of age and were killed 30 h later; flow cytometric analysis was used to determine the CD4 and CD8 distribution in thymocytes.
