| Abstract | PRO-T lymphocyte clones, which have the T cell receptor (TCR) alpha, beta, gamma and delta genes in germline configuration and heterogeneous T cell precursors freshly isolated from bone marrow of athymic nude mice, gave rise to single positive L3T4+ TCR alpha,beta+ and double negative (L3T4-LyT2-) TCR alpha,beta+ or TCR gamma,delta+ cells, but not to any cells expressing LyT2, when co-cultured with the thymic epithelial clone ET. The T cell progenitors were able to develop into cells expressing LyT2 only when cocultured with heterogeneous thymic epithelial cell preparations. The progeny of the induced PRO-T clones included cells bearing V beta 8, V beta 17 and V gamma 3 gene family products. The presence of cells expressing a TCR gamma, delta/T3 receptor complex in the cultures was also documented by the expression of RNA transcripts from the TCR delta and TCR gamma genes by induced PRO-T cells. The TCR/T3+ cells generated in the cultures expressed functionally competent T cell receptor complexes. Our results show that: (i) the same PRO-T clone can give rise to all major subsets of thymocytes upon interaction with the appropriate thymic epithelial cells; (ii) both TCR alpha,beta+ and TCR gamma,delta+ cells may originate from a common T cell progenitor; (iii) L3T4+ TCR alpha, beta+ and L3T4-LyT2- TCR alpha,beta+ cells do not necessarily pass through a L3T4+LyT2+ intermediate stage of development; and (iv) different types of thymic epithelial cells play an essential role in the differentiation of PRO-T cells into either L3T4+ TCR alpha,beta+ L3T4-LyT2- TCR alpha,beta+ or L3T4+LyT2+ and LyT2+ TCR alpha, beta+ cells in vitro. Finally, we have attempted to integrate our results and those of others in a suggested model of T cell development within the thymus. |

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.
