摘要: The transition from fully developed CD4+CD8- single-positive (SP) thymocytes into mature recirculating peripheral T cells is both poorly understood with regard to the expression of restricted isoforms (CD45R) leukocyte common antigen and in terms cell function. present investigation monitored extrathymic development SP euthymic recipients using allotype-marked donor monoclonal antibody OX22 which recognizes an epitope on C exon rat CD45R. We established that donor-derived blood 1 day later bore phenotype injected (CD4+ Thy-1+ CD45RC-). identical were also thoracic duct lymph uninjected rats, suggesting CD45RC- represent recent thymic emigrants (RTE) have migrated periphery their own accord. During maturation RTE lost Thy-1 within 3 days expressed CD45RC+ high molecular weight isoform by 7; between 8 14 a proportion (25%-30%) once again (CD45RC-). (CD45RC-) CD4 via intermediate was accompanied at each stage increased ability maturing induce skin allograft rejection. Unexpectedly, subsequent loss isoform, following presumed encounter, associated significant reduction this Thy-1-CD45RC- subpopulation effect graft cyclic CD45RC immature fact low found (unquestionably naive) antigen-experienced cells, makes it unlikely uniquely identifies memory least rat.
