title: WHT/Ht mouse contains plasma cells in the thymus.
abstract: Numerous plasma cells and B cells were present in the thymuses of aged WHT/Ht mice. Plasma cells containing IgG and the follicle-like structure were present in the cortex and medulla, respectively. In these respects, WHT/Ht strain of mice is unique and interesting for studies on lymphocyte development.
