Skin Allograft Survival in Calves

Tritiated thymidine was administered to calves continually for 2 to 8 days via the thymic artery in an attempt to label intensively thymic lymphocytes. Heavily labeled cells which had migrated from the thymus were observed in the spleen, lymph nodes and Peyer's patches. Cell maps were made for the various lymphoid tissues and in all cases the majority of labeled thymic cells were found in the ‘thymus dependent areas’of the spleen and lymph nodes. The number of labeled thymic cells per thousand lymphocytes was highest in the ‘thymus dependent areas’. A few labeled thymic cells were seen in or near the post capillary venules. The labeling pattern in the Peyer's patches was different from that in the spleen and lymph nodes. Labeled thymic cells were not observed in the bone marrow. Heavily labeled cells were not detected in any of the lymphoid tissues of those calves which received continuous intravenous infusion of comparable amounts of tritiated thymidine.
