Dynamic Changes in Lymphocyte Populations Establish Zebrafish as a Thymic Involution Model
2023-07-27
Abstract excerpt
The thymus is the site of T lymphocyte development and T cell education to recognize foreign, but not self, antigens. B cells also reside and develop in the thymus, although their functions are less clear. During ‘thymic involution,’ a process of lymphoid atrophy and adipose replacement linked to sexual maturation, thymocytes decline. However, thymic B cells decrease far less than T cells, such that B cells compri...
