Human thymus contains multipotent progenitors with T/B lymphoid, myeloid, and erythroid lineage potential
30 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
It is a longstanding question which bone marrow-derived cell seeds the thymus and to what level this cell is committed to the T-cell lineage. We sought to elucidate this issue by examining gene expression, lineage potential, and self-renewal capacity of the 2 most immature subsets in the human thymus, namely CD34+ CD1a- and CD34+ CD1a+ thymocytes. DNA microarrays revealed the presence of several myeloid and...
