There was a significant increase in the ratio of putative myeloid to putative lymphoid cells in old females (133–137 days old) compared to young females (59–61 days old; P = 0.0080), whereas such increase was milder and did not reach statistical significance in males of the same chronological age (136–143 days versus 55–62 days old; P = 0.3095) or in males that survived to a similar percentile of the colony (151–179 days versus 51–59 days old; P = 0.2778).
