The fate of thymic emigrants had so far been studied using a variety of markers, each of which had inherent limitations as to stability, toxicity, or selectivity. We describe a new technique which relies on the in vivo injection of CFSE, an esterified vital dye hitherto used at 80 times lower concentrations for in vitro cell labeling. We show that CFSE labels a representative sample of all thymocyte subsets and that these migrate at a rate of approximately 2-3 x 10(6) cells/day to peripheral lymphoid organs. We show that they enter lymph nodes at day 1 postinjection and stay for at least 21 days, whereas the turnover in the spleen is more rapid. We also show by immunohistochemistry, using peroxidase-labeled anti-FITC antibodies, that CFSE-labeled thymic emigrants are confined to T-dependent areas of peripheral lymphoid organs.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
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.

D005452 Fluoresceins A family of spiro(isobenzofuran-1(3H),9'-(9H)xanthen)-3-one derivatives. These are used as dyes, as indicators for various metals, and as fluorescent labels in immunoassays. Tetraiodofluorescein
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
