CHEMOKINES
Interferon-inducible protein 10, monokine induced by interferon
gamma, and interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant are
produced by thymic epithelial cells and attract T-cell receptor (TCR)
 +CD8+ single-positive T cells,
TCR + T cells, and natural killer-type cells in human
thymus

Strong reactivity for interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10),
monokine induced by interferon gamma (Mig), and interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC) was found in epithelial cells mainly localized to the medulla of postnatal human thymus. The CXC
chemokine receptor common to the 3 chemokines (CXCR3) was also
preferentially expressed in medullary areas of the same thymuses and appeared to be a property of 4 distinct populations:
CD3+T-cell receptor (TCR)
 +CD8+ single-positive (SP) T cells,
TCR + T cells, natural killer (NK)-type cells,
and a small subset of CD3+(low)CD4+CD8+TCR +
double-positive (DP) T cells. IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC showed
chemoattractant activity for TCR +CD8+ SP
T cells, TCR + T cells, and NK-type cells, suggesting
their role in the migration of different subsets of mature thymocytes
during human thymus lymphopoiesis.
