Abstract excerpt
Mouse CD4+ T cells efficiently develop in fetal pig thymus (FP THY) grafts and repopulate the periphery of T cell and NK cell-depleted, thymectomized (ATX) mice. However, efficient peripheral repopulation of mouse CD8+ T cells does not occur in these mice. We have therefore evaluated the maturati...
