Evidence for Extrinsic Origin of Ia Positive Cells in Embryonic Murine Thymus

  • Chapter
In Vivo Immunology

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 149))

Abstract

The thymic environment is thought to be of prime importance in the determination and learning by T cells of histocompatibility restricted antigen recognition, and to be involved in determining the IR gene (immune response) phenotype of the T cell.
