Differentiation of thymocytes according to surface phenotype, functional status and cell size was investigated using fully allogeneic bone marrow chimeras. Most of the donor-derived thymocytes obtained from chimeras 9 days after hematopoietic reconstitution were CD4-8- and IL2R+. At day 14, CD4+8+ cells became prominent in the thymus. Eighty-six per cent of thymocytes were CD4+8+ and 9% were CD4-8- at this stage. After day 21, the proportion of CD4+8- or CD4-8+ single positive cells transiently increased and then declined to normal level at day 42. Further, the mean size of CD4+ or CD8+ single positive cells in chimeric thymuses at day 21 after reconstitution was markedly larger than that at day 35. When proliferative responses to various stimuli (PMA + rIL2, anti-CD3 mAb (2C11) and anti-V beta 8 mAb (F23.1] were evaluated, significant responses were generated by thymocytes for the first time at around day 28 and the responses reached their peaks at day 35. These findings demonstrated that the process of thymocyte differentiation in the fully allogeneic chimeras was similar to ontogenic development as observed in fetal mice. However, the tempo at which the differentiation of surface phenotypes and development of functions proceeded was quite different from that seen in normal mice. The relationship among surface phenotypes, cell size and functions of developing thymocytes of bone marrow chimeras is discussed.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000945 Antigens, Differentiation, T-Lymphocyte Antigens expressed on the cell membrane of T-lymphocytes during differentiation, activation, and normal and neoplastic transformation.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.
