Mature lymphocyte immigration into the thymus has been documented in mouse, rat, and pig models, and highly increases when cells acquire an activated phenotype. Entrance of peripheral B and T cells into the thymus has been ...

Objectives To determine TCR excision circle (TREC) levels, a marker of recent thymic emigrants, in the peripheral lymphocyte pool of rheumatoid factor-negative (RF circle divide) polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis ...

Background: The thymus is necessary for the differentiation of T cells, a process that is regulated by the type of antigens found in thymocytes, the environment of surrounding cells and the thymus architecture. There is ...

The effect of polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acid-rich diet on the proliferation response of T and B lymphocytes in vitro was investigated. Also, a mitotic index of thymocytes and of thymus epithelial reticular-like ...
