Abstract:
The arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) in thymic nurse cells (TNCs) of mice were stained by the method of immunogold and indfrect immunofluorescence, PAP immunocytochemical technique. TNCs of mice were shown immunocytochemical reactivity with antfserum of AVP and OT. The posttive areas were much denser near the cells membrane and around TNC-lymphocytes (TNC-Ls). It was implicated that TNCs might serve as neuroendocrine cells and might play a role in TNC-Ls differentiation via secreting AVP and OT.
