Abstract excerpt
It has been proposed that the CD7 molecule is the first antigen expressed on the membrane of cells committed to the T-cell lineage during human fetal T-cell ontogeny. To further identify the pre-T cell subpopulation that migrates to the thymus early in ontogeny, we analyzed the phenotypic and functional characteristics of the fetal liver populations separated on the basis of CD7 expression. Three populations...
