Extrathymic T cells expand in nude mice following different allogeneic stimuli.

We studied extrathymic lymphocyte populations expanded in nude mice after allogeneic stimuli. These were either cells from different tissues or Immunoglobulin (Ig). Although the cells transferred, obtained from Thy-1.

Influence of first-wave derived T lymphocytes in the long term functional reconstitution of allogeneic T cell deficient hosts.

The functional immunological reconstitution and the patterns of cytokine secretion were comparatively studied in BALB/c nu/nu mice grafted with allogeneic B6.Thy-1.1+ E14 or E18 embryonic thymus.
