pubmed-article:2378957 | pubmed:abstractText | The number of spleen colonies produced by fetal liver cells of different gestational ages were compared after injection of the thymus cells into the irradiated recipients. It has been shown that thymocytes that lack influence on spleen colony formation by normal born marrow can increase the number of spleen colonies formed by 12-16 day fetal liver CFU-S. It can be concluded that the population of accessory T cells which have a role in spleen colony formation have been formed to the end of pregnancy. | lld:pubmed |
