Localization of thymostimulin in mouse and rat thymuses.

Anti-bovine thymostimulin serum reacts with reticulo-epithelial cells in the cortex and in the medulla of rat and mouse thymuses. The immuno-reaction is present in a smaller number of cells which have more pallid color than those found in calf thymus. Comparative examination as to the distribution of other thymic factors and as to species-specificity was conducted.
