Abstract excerpt
We have developed an in vitro differentiation assay allowing the study of thymopoiesis from rat bone marrow cells. In this assay, Wistar rat bone marrow cells repopulated fetal Swiss mouse thymic lobes depleted in endogeneous lymphoid cells by deoxyguanosine treatment. Due to the xenogeneic situa...
