Morphological study of thymus stromal cells (TEL‐2 cell) which play a role in the elimination of double positive immature thymocytes by phagocytosis

The process of the selective elimination of immature double positive thymocytes, during culture with TEL‐2 cells (an epithelial cell line from the thymus stroma), is initiated by the contact between thymocytes and TEL‐2 cells (Nakashima et al. 1990 Eur. J. Immunol., 20:47–53; Hirata et al. 1991 Anat. Rec., 230: 524–530).
