| Abstract | The chemokine stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) stimulates the growth of pre-B cells in vitro, and mice with a disrupted SDF-1 gene have abnormal fetal liver B cell lymphopoiesis. The origin of SDF-1 production has not been determined yet. Using an anti-SDF-1 mAb, we performed immunohistochemical studies in four human embryos and five fetuses to define which cells express the SDF-1 protein at sites of antenatal B cell lymphopoiesis. All mesothelial cells contained SDF-1 at all stages of development, including in the intraembryonic splanchnopleuric mesoderm early into gestation. In fetal lungs and kidneys, SDF-1 was expressed by epithelial cells, and a few B lymphoid precursors, expressing V pre-B chains, were also detected. In the fetal liver, in addition to mesothelial cells, biliary epithelial cells were the only cells to contain SDF-1. Pre-B cells expressing V chains were abundant and exclusively located around the edge of portal spaces, in close contact with biliary ductal plate epithelial cells. They did not colocalize with biliary collecting ducts. Biliary ductal plate epithelial cells and liver B cell lymphopoiesis display a parallel development and disappearance during fetal life. These results indicate that early B cell lymphopoiesis in the splanchnopleura may be triggered by mesothelial cells producing SDF-1. Later into gestation, biliary ductal plate epithelial cells may support B cell lymphopoiesis, thus playing a role similar to that of epithelial cells in the avian bursa of Fabricius, and of thymic epithelial cells for T cell lymphopoiesis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
