Studies on thymopoiesis are critical to the understanding of T-cell homeostasis as well as the host response to T-cell depletion. Various in vitro culture systems have been used in the study of thymocyte development; however it is unclear if current co-culture methods have been fully optimized. In this study in vitro suspension cultures have been re-evaluated and the optimal storage conditions for thymocytes have been established by evaluating various methods of storing/isolating thymic tissue… CONTINUE READING
