Lifespan of gamma/delta T cells.

Abstract excerpt

Information on the turnover and lifespan of murine gamma/delta cells was obtained by administering the DNA precursor, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), in the drinking water and staining lymphoid cells for BrdU incorporation. For TCR-gamma/delta (Vgamma2) transgenic mice, nearly all gamma/delta thymocytes became BrdU+ within 2 d and were released rapidly into the peripheral lymphoid tissues. These recent thymic emigrants...
