Abstract excerpt
Murine fetal thymic organ culture (FTOC) was used to investigate the mechanism by which a lack of adenosine deaminase (ADA) leads to a failure of T cell production in the thymus. We previously showed that T cell development was inhibited beginning at the CD4(-)CD8(-)CD25(+)CD44(low) stage in ADA-deficient FTOC initiated at day 15 of gestation when essentially all thymocytes are CD4(-)CD8(-). In the present study,...
