Answers
Answer:
The process of development and maturation of the T Cells in mammals begins with the haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the fetal liver and later in the bone marrow where HSC differentiate into multipotent progenitors. A subset of multipotent progenitors initiates the transcription of recombination activating gene 1 and 2 (RAG 1 and RAG2) and become lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors and then common lymphoid progenitors (CLP). Only a small subset of pluripotent cells migrates to the thymus and differentiates into early thymic progenitors (ETP). The thymus does not contain self-renewing progenitors; and therefore, long-term thymopoiesis depends on the recruitment of thymus-settling progenitors throughout the life of the individual (1). These progenitors must enter the thymus to become gradually reprogrammed into fully mature and functional T Cells. The T Cell’s distinct developmental steps, as illustrated in Figure 1, are coordinated with the migration of the developing thymocytes towards specific niches in the thymus that provide the necessary stage-specific factors that are needed for further differentiation
