We investigated responsiveness to cytokines and differentiating potential of early human T cell precursors in vitro. Human CD3- CD4- CD8- (triple negative) thymocytes were highly purified by using magnetic bead columns and cell sorting. These cells proliferated for the first 3 to 4 days and then remained viable for up to 14 days in the presence of IL-7, IL-2 or IL-4 had only limited growth-promoting activity on...
