Detection of TdT-positive cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes of immunodeficient rats: study of their antigenic phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) containing cells were found in the mesenteric lymph nodes of protein deprived and casein re-fed rats. Double immunofluorescence was used to characterize these TdT+ cells according to their surface antigenic phenotype. TdT+ cells expressing T-cell antigen markers recognized by monoclonal antibodies: W3/13 and OX-19 indicated thymic origin. It was found that these cells...
