摘要
<正> Phenotypic analysis of the medullary-type CD4 CD8+ (CD8SP) thymocytes has revealed phenotypic heterogeneity within this cell population. The phenotype of mature peripheral CD8+T cells is TCRαβ+CD3+Qa-2+HSA3G11 6C10 , whereas in the medullary-type CD8SP thymocytes, 20% are Qa-2+; 33%, HAS ; 30%, 3G11 ; and 70% are 6C10 . The disparate expression patterns of these four cell surface markers suggest that medullary-type CD8SP thymocytes may undergo phenotypic maturation process. According to the distribution of these four celi surface markers, six subgroups of CD8SP thymocytes have been identified. The precursor-progeny relationship along with developmental pathway is postulated as follows: 6C10+HSA+3G11 Qa-2 - 6C10+HSA+ 3G11+Qa-2 6C10 HSA+3G11+Qa-2 -6C10 HSA 3G11 +Qa-2 -6C10 HSA 3G11 Qa-2 -6C10 HA S 3G11 Qa-2+, the cells inthe last subgroup exit the thymus and home into periphery.
