Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The thymus is a central lymphoid organ responsible for the development of T cells. Here, we show that the thymus of human neonates also contains a consistent contingent of CD138+ plasma cells, producing all classes and subclasses of immunoglobulins with the exception of IgD. These antibody-secreting cells (ASC) are comprised within a larger subset of B cells lacking expression of the co...
