Thymic Microenvironment and Lymphoid Responses to Sublethal Irradiation
Sublethal irradiation of the murine thymus has been a useful tool for depleting the thymus of dividing immature thymocyte subsets, to sequence thymocyte differentiation events occurring from radiation-resistant precursors. This massive reduction in thymocytes also represents a model in which the bidirectional interplay between the thymic stromal cells and lymphocytes can be investigated. The pu...
متن کاملControlling the thymic microenvironment.
T-cell development in the thymus is a stepwise process, mediated by a variety of stromal cells in different regions of the organ. Although the cellular composition of the thymic microenvironment has been known for over a decade, the molecular cues that govern its formation are only beginning to be understood. Stromal-derived chemokines attract T-cell precursors to the thymus and direct maturing...
متن کاملStructure and function of the thymic microenvironment.
Organs are more than the sum of their component parts--functional competence requires that these parts not only be present in the appropriate proportions, but also be arranged and function together in specific ways. The thymus is an excellent example of the connection between cellular organization and organ function. Unlike more familiar organs, such as lung or kidney, the thymus is not organiz...
متن کاملContribution of Translin to hematopoietic regeneration after sublethal ionizing irradiation.
The integrity of the genome is threatened by DNA damaging events such as radiation, viral infection and chemicals. Ionizing irradiation is known to cause genotoxic damage through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) and we have found that a signaling pathway for the nuclear translocation of Translin is initiated in association and efficiently blocked by a s...
متن کاملAlteration of clonal profile. I. Effect of sublethal irradiation on the responses to phosphorylcholine in BALB/c mice
BALB/c mice exhibit greater than 90% H8 clonal dominance in the immune response to phosphorylcholine. Adult mice exposed to 500 rads were initally unable to produce a humoral immune response to both phosphorylcholine and trinitrophenol antigens, and the direct plaque-forming cell response was slowly regained over several weeks. Clonotypic analysis wity antisera directed against the H8 idiotype ...
