A T cell subset (T4+,2H4+) has recently been identified, which acts as an inducer of T8+ suppressor cells; however 2H4 molecules have not been detected in thymuses from normal individuals or on the surface of immature thymocyte clones. In the present study, T4+,2H4+ and T8+,2H4+ cells have been found in maternal and new-born blood samples. However, only a small percentage of 2H4+ cells were detected in human fetal thymus, bone marrow, liver and spleen, thus suggesting that T cells acquire these molecules only in circulation and at a late stage of maturation.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
