Abstract: Submetido em 23/07/2011 Aceito para publicação em 16/04/2012 ResumoDurante a vida fetal e no período neonatal o timo é um órgão de grande importância imunológica e, anatomicamente é o maior órgão linfático, com alta atividade linfopoiética, constando como precursor da linfopoiese. Estudos morfológicos sobre o desenvolvimento do timo são pouco esclarecedores e quando ocorrem englobam o assunto de forma genérica. Diante do exposto este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar o desenvolvimento morfológico do timo … Show more

“…In addition, the presence of the FeLV virus suggests that thymus atrophy did not play a role in thymopoiesis, and that the decrease of thymocytes in cats of the Fp group was probably due to the absence of thymic corpuscles. The loss of thymic epithelial cells and the increase in both perivascular space-usually infiltrated by adipocytes-and cystic cavities were strong characteristics of thymus physiological involution, which were especially expressed by thymocytes involution [16].…”
