Abstract excerpt
This study was performed as a means to examine the effects of environment and stem cell origin on the molding of T cell receptor gene rearrangements during T cell development. Lethally irradiated adult mice were first reconstituted with (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1 stem cells, which derived either from a fetal liver or adult bone marrow source. The gene rearrangements in the irradiated thymi were then compared to those in...
