In the present work, we have demonstrated in vivo an altered maturation of the thymic epithelium that results in defective T cell development which increases with age, in the thymus of Eph A4-deficient mice. The deficient thymi are hypocellular and show decreased proportions of double-positive (CD4+CD8+) cells which reach minimal numbers in 4-wk-old thymi. The EphA4 (-/-) phenotype correlates w...
Phenotypic profiles of the thymic stromal components provide an excellent approach to elucidating the nature of the microenvironment of this organ. To address this issue in chickens, we have produced an extensive panel of 18 mAb to the thymic stroma. These mAb have been extensively characterized with respect to their phenotypic specificities and reveal that the stromal cells are equally as comp...
Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) support T cell development in the thymus. Cortical thymic epithelial cells (cTECs) facilitate positive selection of developing thymocytes whereas medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) facilitate the deletion of self-reactive thymocytes in order to prevent autoimmunity. The mTEC compartment is highly dynamic with continuous maturation and turnover, but the gene...
To study in vivo the contribution of different thymic epithelial cells to T-lymphocyte differentiation, we have established several nontransformed thymic epithelial cell lines and developed an in vivo assay, not involving exposure to drugs or radiation, that permitted us to study the capacity of these epithelial lines to support T-cell differentiation. We found that cell lines EA2 and ET, which...
CD4 T cells are positively selected in the thymus on peptides presented in the context of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules expressed on cortical thymic epithelial cells. Molecules regulating this peptide presentation play a role in determining the outcome of positive selection. Cathepsin L mediates invariant chain processing in cortical thymic epithelial cells, and animals of...
The epithelial component of the thymic environment is organized into discrete cortical and medullary compartments that mediate different aspects of thymocyte differentiation. The processes controlling the growth and organization of these epithelial compartments are poorly defined. In this study we have used a novel approach to define the three-dimensional organization of thymic epithelial (TE) ...
