Lymphocyte development proceeds through highly ordered and regulated stages, as multipotent hematopoietic progenitors differentiate into lineage-defined progenitors, and ultimately into mature effector cells. The ability to generate lymphocytes from embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro should facilitate the study of these complex differentiation steps by providing a model system in which the effects of genetic and nongenetic manipulations can be examined in a controlled setting. These advances may also contribute to future therapeutic approaches. In this article, we describe the procedure for generating functional lymphocytes from mouse ES cells.

Zygotic Development And Stem Cell Formation

The development of all multicellular organisms starts with the fusion of haploid cells called sperm and egg to form a diploid zygote. A zygote is a totipotent cell that can develop into a complete organism. The zygote undergoes cell division or cleavage to form an 8-cell mass. Until this stage, the cells are spherical, loosely attached, and remain totipotent. Totipotent cells are capable of developing both the embryonic and the extraembryonic tissues. However, as they continue to divide, they...
