Abstract excerpt
In this paper we provide several lines of evidence to support the hypothesis that the thymus can exert regulatory influences on the functional capabilities of mature recirculating T cells. Our studies demonstrate that while the IL-2-producing potential of T cells that repopulate the secondary lym...
