Abstract excerpt
The thymic microenvironment contains a mixture of phenotypically distinct epithelial cells of varied functions, some of which are unknown. In an attempt to understand their relevance to T cell differentiation in the thymus, human thymic epithelial cell clones from both fetal (SM3-SM5) and postnatal (SM6) thymus were produced by using a defective recombinant retroviral vector encoding the simian virus 40 large T...
