Identification of a Bipotent Epithelial Progenitor Population in the Adult Thymus

Identification of a Bipotent Epithelial Progenitor Population in the Adult Thymus

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are critically required for T cell development, but the cellular mechanisms that maintain adult TECs are poorly understood. Here, we show that a previously unidentified subpopulation, EpCam+UEA1−Ly-51+PLET1+MHC class IIhi, which comprises <0.5% of adult TECs, contai...
