The Role of the Thymus in Immune Reconstitution in Aging, Bone Marrow Transplantation, and HIV-1 Infection
Abstract
The human thymus is a complex chimeric organ comprised of central (thymic epithelial space) and peripheral (perivascular space) components that functions well into adult life to produce naive T lymphocytes. Recent advances in identifying thymic emigrants and development of safe methods to study thymic function in vivo in adults have provided new opportunities to understand the role that the human thymus plays in immune reconstitution in aging, in bone marrow transplantation, and in HIV-1 infection. The emerging concept is that there are age-dependent contributions of thymic emigrants and proliferation of postthymic T cells to maintain the peripheral T cell pool and to contribute to T cell regeneration, with the thymus contributing more at younger ages and peripheral T cell expansion contributing more in older subjects. New studies have revealed a dynamic interplay between postnatal thymus output and peripheral T cell pool proliferation, which play important roles in determining the nature of immune reconstitution in congenital immunodeficiency diseases, in bone marrow transplantation, and in HIV-1 infection. In this paper, we review recent data on human postnatal thymus function that, taken together, support the notion that the human thymus is functional well into the sixth decade and plays a role throughout life to optimize human immune system function.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
