Paf-acether (paf) is a phospholipid mediator of inflammation endowed with major immunoregulatory properties. The present study demonstrates that human thymus contains large amounts of paf, as well as paf precursors. In addition, isolated thymic cells produced paf under ionophore stimulation. Paf from thymus exhibited the same biological and physiochemical properties as synthetic paf. The purity and molecular structure of paf from thymus were further characterized by reverse-phase HPLC and gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. These findings may have important implications since thymus microenvironment is essential in the proper development of bone marrow progenitors committed to the T cell lineage into thymocytes capable of emigrating to the periphery as functional T lymphocytes.
