title: Prolactin and early T-cell development in embryonic chicken.
abstract: Currently, the information available on the ontogeny of the immune-neuroendocrine network is somewhat scant. However, increasing data suggest a role for prolactin, an important immunoregulatory molecule that resembles cytokines, in early T-cell development. In this article, Javier Moreno and colleagues present evidence for this role using the chicken embryo as a model system.
