Control of differentiation of thymocyte precursors in the bone marrow by thymic hormones. 1978

N H Pazmiño, and J N Ihle, and R N McEwan, and A L Goldstein

Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is uniquely associated with the major thymocyte population and a minor bone marrow population which is separable on bovine serum albumin gradients. The expression of TdT in the bone marrow subpopulation is under thymic regulation in that this population is significantly reduced in nude mice or is lost with time after thymectomy. The expression of TdT in athymic mice can be induced both in vivo and in vitro by thymosin fraction 5 or by beta3, a peptide purified from thymosin fraction 5. The optimal concentration of beta3 in the in vitro induction of TdT is approximately 10 ng/ml. These results demonstrate that thymic hormones control the early differentiation of prothymocytes in the bone marrow.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

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.

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.
