Abstract excerpt
A rat thymic epithelial cell (TEC) line (R-TNC.1) was established from a long-term TEC culture. Based on its ultrastructure, phenotype and cytokeratin profile, this line was characterized as a type of cortical TEC. R-TNC.1 cells had nursing activity which was manifested by the binding and subsequ...
