Development of T-lymphocytes in mouse fetal thymus organ culture
Abstract
Fetal thymus organ culture (FTOC) is a unique and powerful culture system that allows intrathymic T-lymphocyte development in vitro. T-cell development in FTOC well represents fetal thymocyte development in vivo. Here, we describe the basic method for FTOC as well as several related techniques, including the reconstitution of thymus lobes with T-lymphoid progenitor cells, high-oxygen submersion culture, time-lapse visualization of thymic emigration, reaggregation culture, and retrovirus-mediated gene transfer to developing thymocytes in FTOC.
