New Data on the Involvement of Ectodermal Epithelium in Extrathymic Differentiation of Human T-Lymphocytes

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Thymalin accumulates only in young cells of the skin ectodermal epithelium and mucosa of the anterior portions of the digestive and respiratory systems. After appearance of keratin the cells no longer accumulate thymalin. Similarly as in the thymus, thymalin content in the ectodermal epithelium of the organs is subjected to age-associated involution.
