Murine terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase: cellular distribution and response to cortisone [PDF]
The mouse thymus contains two forms of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) which are distinguishable by the salt concentration necessary to elute them from a phosphocellulose column, by their distrubtion among the thymocyte subpopulations, and by

THAT cortisone is able to suppress the inflammatory reaction irrespective of the nature of the causative agent is now a generally accepted fact. The site at which it is able to exert this effect remains uncertain; but it has recently been shown that cortisone can prevent or nullify an increase in capillary permeability1, and that its administration is ...
