The purpose of this study was to examine T cell development in rat lacrimal glands, determine whether the thymus is source immature cells tissue and compare gland lymphocytes with other subpopulations. Methods. Mononuclear were isolated from glands normal or thymectomized female Fischer 344 rats stained for flow cytometric analysis. Results. lymphocyte population included large percentages an activated phenotype also subpopulations immature, naive memory cells. numbers (Thy-1 +) unchanged following short-term adult thymectomy. In comparison, spleen had cells, only a small subpopulation similar which nearly eliminated after Lacrimal TCR?d + CD8aa NKT a...
