Figure 4. Parathyroid-derived cervical thymus cannot support normal T cell development.

Figure 4

(a) CD25+ cells (green) are widespread in E15.5 thoracic thymus. and in some cervical thymus (b, c). (d, e and f) CD25+ cells mainly locate at the sub-capsular area in some cervical thymi. (g, h and i) CD25+ cells are absent in some cervical thymus. (j, k) Parathyroid derived cervical thymus does not contain CD25+ cells (blue). (l, m) CD25+ cells are present in non-parathyroid derived cervical thymus. (Scale bar=100μm)
