Charting the age-altered thymic epithelial cell differentiation by lineage tracing from a beta 5-t expressing TEC progenitor
TEC progenitors that express beta 5-t contribute to both the cortical and medullary TEC compartments. Our initial experiments across ageing thymi identified a population of potential progenitor TECs which expanded with age, and appears to be a progenitor population for mTEC. These lineage tracing experiments are designed to chart the altered differentiation and senescence of mTEC progenitors with age.
