Thymic Function Can Be Accurately Monitored by the Level of Recent T Cell Emigrants in the Circulation  Fan-kun Kong, Chen-lo H. Chen, Max D. Cooper  Immunity  Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 97-104 (January 1998) DOI: 10.1016/S1074-7613(00)80462-8

Figure 1 Ontogenetic Analysis of chT1 Expression by γδ and αβ T Cells Immunofluorescence flow cytometry data are shown for unseparated cells from (A) embryonic thymi, (B) spleens of embryonic and newly hatched chicks, and (C) spleens of older birds. Tissue samples from four to eight embryos were pooled for this analysis, and data from two to three older birds were averaged at each time point. γδ and αβ T cells were analyzed for chT1 expression, and the percentage of chT1+ cells determined for each subpopulation. The γδ T cells were identified with the TCR1 (anti-TCRγδ) mAb, and αβ T cells were identified with a combination of the TCR2 (anti-Vβ1) and TCR3 (anti-Vβ2) mAbs.

Figure 2 Analysis of chT1 Antigen Expression by Thymocytes from a 1-Week-Old Chick Cells differentially stained with the CT8, CT4, and CT1 mAbs were analyzed by immunofluorescence flow cytometry. Percentages of chT1+ cells are indicated for each subpopulation discriminated by the CT4 and CT8 mAbs. Immunity 1998 8, 97-104DOI: (10.1016/S1074-7613(00)80462-8)

Figure 5 Analysis of the Peripheral Pool of chT1+ T Cells following Surgical Thymectomy (A) Thymectomy was performed at 4 weeks of age and tissues from the experimental and control birds were analyzed by immunofluorescence 6 weeks later. (B) Time course analysis of circulating chT1+ T cells after removal of the thymus at 4 weeks of age. Data points indicate values (circles and bars, mean ± SD) for 4 individual chickens. Four normal chickens of the same ages served as controls. A monoexponential decay model was used to estimate a 3-day half-life of chT1 expression by T cells in the periphery.

Figure 3 Characterization of the chT1+ T Cells in Different Peripheral Lymphoid Tissues (A) Immunofluorescence analysis of chT1 antigen expression by γδ (top) and αβ (bottom) T cells from a 4-week-old bird. (B) Immunofluorescence analysis of CD4 and CD8 expression by the chT1+ and chT1− subpopulations of T cells. Immunity 1998 8, 97-104DOI: (10.1016/S1074-7613(00)80462-8)

Figure 4 Comparative Analysis of TCR Rearrangement Deletion Circles in the chT1+ and chT1− Subpopulations of Splenic T Cells Equivalent amounts of DNA from the chT1+ and chT1− T cells separated by FACS to a purity of ≥ 98% were used as PCR templates (see Experimental Procedures). The PCR products were then separated on 1% agarose gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, which were hybridized with [γ-32P]ATP-labeled specific internal probes. The membranes were exposed on X-ray film for 12 hr. Immunity 1998 8, 97-104DOI: (10.1016/S1074-7613(00)80462-8)

Figure 6 Correlation of chT1+ T Cell Levels in the Circulation with the Number of Residual Thymic Lobes (A) Variable numbers of thymic lobes were surgically removed from 6-week-old chickens (three individuals per group), and levels of circulating chT1+ cells were determined at serial intervals. Numbers on the right indicate the number of residual thymic lobes for each subgroup. (B) Correlation between the number of residual thymic lobes and levels of circulating chT1+ cells in the T cell pool 30 days postthymectomy. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was 0.98 (P < 0.0001). Immunity 1998 8, 97-104DOI: (10.1016/S1074-7613(00)80462-8)
