B-SDG rats exhibit the smallest thymus size
The thymus size of B-SDG rats was the smallest compared to that of wild-type SD rats and B-Rag2 KO rats. Gross anatomy of thymuses in male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats were showed (n=3, 7-week-old). Thymus size of B-Rag2 KO rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. But the thymus size of B-SDG rats were further reduced compared to B-Rag2 KO rats.

Thymus and spleen were isolated from male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats and weighed (n=3, 7-week-old). Thymus size and weight of B-Rag2 KO rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats. But the thymus size and weight of B-SDG rats were further reduced compared to B-Rag2 KO rats. Spleen size and weight of B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats were significantly reduced compared to that of wild-type SD rats.
Analysis of leukocyte subpopulation in thymus
Complete loss of T cells in thymus of homozygous B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats. Thymuses were collected from male and female wild-type SD rats, B-Rag2 KO rats and B-SDG rats (n=3, 7-week-old). Leukocyte subpopulations were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. A. Representative FACS plots. B. Statistical analysis of FACS.
