Summary

A rare case of dermatomyositis in a 56-year-old man was linked to thymic carcinoma. Early detection of this rare cancer is crucial, as symptom improvement after surgery suggests a connection.

Three-Dimensional Thymic Culture System to Generate iPSC-Derived Thymic Emigrants

This video demonstrates a protocol for generating functional antigen-specific T cells from iPSC-derived immature T cells using a three-dimensional thymic culture system. Co-culturing the iPSC-derived immature T cells with endogenous lymphocyte-depleted mice fetal thymic lobes resulted in successful maturation of the T cells to form CD8αβ+ MHC class I+ iPSC-derived thymic emigrants...

Preparation and Applications of Organotypic Thymic Slice Cultures

We describe the preparation of thymic slices that, in combination with flow cytometry, can be used to model positive and negative selection of developing T cells. Thymic slices can also be adapted for the in situ analysis of thymocyte migration, localization, and signaling via immunofluorescence and two-photon...

A Three-dimensional Thymic Culture System to Generate Murine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Tumor Antigen-specific Thymic Emigrants

This article describes a novel method to generate tumor antigen-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived thymic emigrants (iTE) by a three-dimensional (3D) thymic culture system. iTE are a homogenous subset of T cells closely related to naïve T cells with the capacity for proliferation, memory formation, and tumor...
