A kinetic study of thymus repopulation after intravenous injection of L3T4-, Lyt-2- thymocytes further depleted of IL-2R+ or Pgp-1+ cells indicates that donor cells within the thymus at Day 8 after injection descend primarily from an IL-2R+, Pgp-1- progenitor, while at Day 17 after injection most progeny of donor phenotype descend from an IL-2R-, Pgp-1+ progenitor. Repopulation studies in organ culture demonstrate that IL-2R+, Pgp-1+ cells also have progenitor activity. All three progenitors give rise to differentiated cell types normally present in the thymus. These results are consistent with the interpretation that the L3T4-, Lyt-2- population is composed of a heterogeneous collection of progenitors which repopulate the thymus with differing kinetics and imply that it will be difficult to establish lineage relationships within this population in the absence of a clonal assay for thymocyte progenitors.
