2.1 POJA-L918
Title: Thymus cortex (rat, young adult)
Description: Electron microscopy.
Two epithelioreticular cells type II (1) show the characteristic vacuoles (*) partly filled with granules (thymulin, lymphokines).
At (→←) small desmosomes.
Apart from the mitochondria electron-dense lysosomal structures are present as well as tonofilaments (1, keratins). This TEC2 display strong MHC-II expression and are thus involved in CD4-interaction and selection of T cells.
Keywords/Mesh: lymphatic tissue, thymus, epithelioreticular cell II, desmosome, histology, electron microscopy, POJA collection
