Post-thymic T lymphocyte maturation during ontogenesis
Peripheral T lymphocytes from newborn (4-6-d-old) mice, isolated from the spleen or lymph nodes, show phenotypic features of immature cortical thymocytes, such as high frequencies of proliferating cells and of peanut lectin-binding cells. These are features of peripheral T cells of recent thymic origin, as shown by in situ labeling of thymocytes and subsequent observation of the migrants to the...
متن کاملT-cel l Receptor P-Chain Gene Rearrangement and Expression During Human Thymic Ontogenesis
By Antonio Bonati, Paola Zanelli, Sergio Ferrari, Anna Plebani, Bruno Starcich, Mario Savi, and Tauro M. Neri T-cell ,receptor (TCR) @chain proteins appear early ( 15th week of gestation) during human thymic ontogenesis. These p-chain proteins, which appear before terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), could be an expression of a fully rearranged (V-D-J), incompletely rearranged (D-J), or...
متن کاملT-cell receptor beta-chain gene rearrangement and expression during human thymic ontogenesis.
T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain proteins appear early (approximately 15th week of gestation) during human thymic ontogenesis. These beta-chain proteins, which appear before terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), could be an expression of a fully rearranged (V-D-J), incompletely rearranged (D-J), or germline TCR beta-chain gene. The aims of this study, performed from the 15th week onward,...
متن کاملFunctional Maturation of Thymic Lymphocyte Populations in Vitro
Mouse thymocytes were cultured for short periods of time either alone or with one of two supporting cell populations, splenic adherent cells or thymic epithelial cells. The thymus-derived (T) cell activity of thymocytes cultured on supporting cell populations increased dramatically during 2 days of culture, as assayed in the mixed lymphocyte interaction (MLI), response to phytomitogens, and hel...
متن کاملDefects of T-cell effector function and post-thymic maturation in X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) results from mutations in the gene encoding for CD40 ligand (CD154). Patients with the syndrome suffer from infections with opportunistic pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Pneumocystis carinii. In this study, we demonstrate that activated T cells from patients with XHIM produce markedly reduced levels of IFN-gamma, fail to induce antigen-presenting cells t...
