Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that lympho-neuroendocrine communications function in the early development of the chick embryo (Jankovic et al., 1978, 1980, 1981). Since thymic epithelial cells are widely considered capable of producing humoral factors, it was of interest to investigate the epithelial cells of the developing thymus in normal and hypophysectomized chick embryos.
