Abstract:
Complex in vitro and in vivo techniques are being combined to unlock the remaining secrets of the thymus. In this report from a recent thymus workshop*, Bruno Kyewski and Thomas Hünig describe the genetic manipulations aimed at clarifying the mechanisms of T-cell selection and lineage commitment, and the use of organ culture and immunohistology to identify the thymic microenvironments in which these events take place.
