Expression of estrogen receptor in thymus of female BALB/c mice at different ages / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

The expression of estrogen receptor (ER) in thymus of female BALB/c mice at different ages was investigated. The results showed that the expression of ER in thymus was increased from 1 to 8 weeks after birth. ER positive cells were thymic epithelial cells and thymocytes. ER existed not only in the cytoplasm, but also in the nucleus.
