Limiting dilution analysis of alloantigen-reactive T lymphocytes. VI. Ontogeny of cytolytic T lymphocyte precursors in the thymus [PDF]
The ontogeny of development of precursors of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL-P) in the murine thymus has been investigated. Fetal or newborn thymocytes harvested from C57BL/6 mice were cultured with irradiated allogeneic (DBA/2) spleen cells in limiting ...

Role of regulatory T cells in immune tolerance [PDF]
In this present work, we investigated the role of dendritic cells (DC) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in immune tolerance as well as their potential in the treatment of autoimmune or graft versus host (GvH) diseases.

Tipificación efectiva del nombre Linneano Thymus pulegioides (Lamiaceae) [PDF]
The typification of the Linnaean name Thymus pulegioides (Lamiaceae) is revised. This name had previously been “lectotypified” by Mártonfi in 1997 from a specimen kept at the herbarium LINN (Herb. Linnaeus No. 38.6). However, Linnaeus cited a specimen of

PPARgamma Deficiency Counteracts Thymic Senescence
Thymic senescence contributes to increased incidence of infection, cancer and autoimmunity at senior ages. This process manifests as adipose involution. As with other adipose tissues, thymic adipose involution is also controlled by PPARgamma.

Activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in T-lineage cells inhibits TCR repertoire selection in the thymus and peripheral T-cell activation [PDF]
TCR signal strength is involved in many cell fate decisions in the T-cell lineage. Here, we show that transcriptional events induced by Hedgehog (Hh) signaling reduced TCR signal strength in mice.

Antibodies to acetylcholine receptor in parous women with myasthenia: evidence for immunization by fetal antigen [PDF]
The weakness in myasthenia gravis (MG) is mediated by autoantibodies against adult muscle acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular junction; most of these antibodies also bind to fetal AChR, which is present in the thymus.

Natriuretic peptide receptors on rat thymocytes: Inhibition of proliferation by atrial natriuretic peptide. [PDF]
Because the thymus expresses the natriuretic peptides (NP) as well as their respective receptors, an involvement of NP in the physiology of this organ has been suggested.

The Effects of Maternal Subclinical Hypothyroidism on Fetal Thymus Size: A Prospective Study
Objective: This study investigated the impact of maternal subclinical hypothyroidism on fetal thymus size and development and explored how inadequate thyroid hormone production in pregnant women affects the fetal thymus. Methods: Conducted at the Giresun
