BACKGROUND: The epithelial microenvironment is involved in thymus aging, but the possible role of EphB receptors that govern the thymic epithelium development has not been investigated.

RESULTS: Immune alterations occurring throughout life were more severe in mutant than in wild-type (WT) mice. Mutant thymuses...
