To further determine which population of thymic CD4-CD8+ T cells was regulated by thymic B cells in lupus-prone mice, we first identified CD4-CD8+ T cell phenotype by analyzing CD3, RORγt, and CD24 expression in C57BL/6 (Figure 4A and 4B) and MRL/+ (Supplementary Figure S4A and S4B) mice. The gene discussed is CD24; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
