  • Title: Thymus: primary site of lymphopoiesis.
    Author: Volpe EP, Turpen JB.
    Journal: Ann Immunol (Paris); 1976; 127(6):833-40. PubMed ID: 1087542.
    Abstract:
    The thymus of the leopard frog is the primary, if not the sole, source of progenitor lymphocytic cells that normally colonize the spleen. Following embryonal parabiosis, a high level of cell chimerism exists in the thymus glands of each member of the parabiotic pair. Evidently, there can be an appreciable amount of cross-circulation of thymic cells between thymus glands.
