Effect of cytokines on thymic hematopoietic precursors. Phenotypic and electron-microscopic study.

Abstract excerpt

We have previously shown that the interaction of thymocytes with thymic accessory cells (macrophages and/or interdigitating cells) is one of the factors required for thymocyte activation. Precursors of both thymic accessory cells and thymocytes are included in the CD4- CD8- Mac-1- Ia- subpopulation, and their respective maturation and/or activation may be modulated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating...
