Expression of pT mRNA in a Committed Dendritic Cell Precursor in
the Human Thymus

We have characterized dendritic cell precursors (pre-DC) in the
human thymus. These
CD1a CD3 CD4+CD8
cells express high levels of interleukin-3R (IL-3R ) on the membrane and are able to develop into mature DC upon culture with IL-3
and CD40 ligation. The DC precursors are predominantly located in
the thymic medulla. Interestingly, the pre-DC express pT mRNA, which
is also present in
CD1a+CD3 CD4+ CD8
pre-T cells. Yet, the pre-DC lack expression of recombination activating gene-1 mRNA and fail to develop into T cells in
appropriate assays. The thymic pre-DC are very similar to the recently
characterized pre-DC found in the T cell areas of the tonsil, and it is
suggested that these pre-DC populations are of lymphoid origin.
