Thymic Nurse Cells Participate in Heterotypic Internalization and Repertoire Selection of Immature Thymocytes; Their Removal from the Thymus of Autoimmune Animals May be Important to Disease Etiology

J. Guyden, Maria Carmen Martínez, Rajendra V. E. Chilukuri, Vincent E. Reid et autres

Thymic nurse cells (TNCs) are specialized epithelial cells that reside in the thymic cortex. The initial report of their discovery in 1980 showed TNCs to contain up to 200 thymocytes within specialized vacuoles in their cytoplasm. Much has been reported since that …

The antigenic determinant that defines thymic nurse cells is expressed by thymic epithelial progenitor cells

Rajendra V. E. Chilukuri, Viral Patel, Marcia Martinez, J. Guyden et autres

Stromal thymic epithelial cells with the multicellular structure unique to thymic nurse cells (TNCs) express the pH91 antigen on their cell surfaces. The multicellular TNC-complexes develop through an intimate association between αβTCR+CD4+CD8+ thymocytes and pH91-expressing cortical epithelial cells. TNCs participate in MHC-restriction …

Thymic nurse cell multicellular complexes in HY-TCR transgenic mice demonstrate their association with MHC restriction.

Marcia Martinez, Michael Samms, Tonya M. Hendrix, Oluwaseun Adeosun et autres

This study examines thymic nurse cell (TNC) function during T-cell development. It has been suggested that TNCs function in the removal of nonfunctional and/or apoptotic thymocytes and do not participate in major histocompatibility complex restriction. We analyzed TNCs isolated from both normal …

Questionable Thymic Nurse Cell

Mark Pezzano, Michael Samms, Marcia Martinez, J. Guyden

Since their discovery in 1980, thymic nurse cells (TNCs) have been controversial. Questions pertaining to the existence of the TNC as a "unit" cell with thymocytes completely enclosed within its cytoplasm were the focus of initial debates. Early skeptics proposed the multicellular …
