The influence of thymus factor X (TFX) and its fraction V on the haemodynamic and haemopoietic functions. The activity of crude thymus extract () and its immunologically most active fraction V were assessed comparatively. It was observed that the circulatory activity occurred only when crude thymus...
Hypertrophy of the thymus was observed in aging C57BL/6 mice, ranging in age from 4 to 20 months, which had been gonadectomized 2 months before the sacrifice, and the magnitude of thymic regeneration was more pronounced in male than in female. However, enhancement of anti-SRBC antibody res...
What are the functions of the skeletal system? What are the functions of the thymus and spleen? Describe the functional relationship between the liver and the gall bladder. What is the function of the lymphocytes? What would be the benefit of having sinusoidal capillaries at the liver?
THE cells involved in the immune response are of thymus-derived (T) and bone marrow-derived (B) origins 1,2 . Experiments in vivo and in vitro have established that both T and B cells demonstrate antigenic specificity 3,4 and that the antibody-producing cell is of B origin 1 . The ...
Thyroidectomy hastens, while gonadectomy delays, but does not permanently prevent, involution of the thymus. Suprarenalectomy alone not only delays involution of the thymus and lymphoid tissue but may cause their regeneration. Thyroidect... Marine,D. - 《Journal of Experimental Medicine》 被引量: ...

Explain the general structure and functions of the lymphoid organs and tissues (spleen, thymus, etc.). What is the main function of the large intestine? List and describe the functional anatomy of the organs and accessory organs of the digestive system. Discuss the processes and controls of ing...
Neuropilin 1 has been shown to be a regulatory T (TReg) cell marker and to be involved in the functions of TRegcells. Plexin-mediated signals have been elucidated in both immune and bone systems. Semaphorins and their receptors have been implicated in various immune disorders, such as multiple...
[111]. Therefore, SUMO regulates the function of IRF4 in Treg cells and immunotolerance. Ubc9 participates in T cell development, and T cell-specific knockout ofUbc9significantly reduces CD4 and CD8 single-positive T cell populations in the thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues. Notably,Ubc9...
