Dynamic change of thymic output during and after chemotherapy in 54 patients with B cell lymphoma. Thymic output was monitored by measuring CD31+ recent thymic emigrants (RTE) (A) counts and single-joint T-cell receptor excision circles (sjTREC) (B) levels in the peripheral blood prior (baseline), during (after three cycles of chemotherapy) and after (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 mo post-chemotherapy) treatment. Both of the CD31+ RTE counts and sjTREC levels decreased to the nadir at the end of treatment and recovered within one year of follow-up. Data are shown as mean ± SD. p values were assessed by general linear model analysis for repeated measure data. p < 0.05, versus baseline levels;#p < 0.001,vs. the nadir at the end of treatment.
