Here we show that marginal zone (MZ)-B cells in rats can already be detected in neonatal spleen from two days after birth. At this time point, morphologically distinct MZs are not present yet and the vast majority of B cells in spleen are located in a concentric area surrounding the T cell zones (PALS). Before MZs are obviously detectable in spleen (14 days after birth), MZ-B cells seem to be enriched at the outer zones of the concentric B cell areas. Similar to adult rats, neonatal MZ-B cells are intermediate-sized cells that express high levels of surface (s)IgM and HIS57 antigen, and low levels of sIgD and CD45R (HIS24). We show here, however, that in contrast to adult MZ-B cells, MZ-B cells (and also recirculating follicular (RF)-B cells) in neonatal rats express higher levels of CD90 (Thy-1). In adult rats, expression of CD90 on the B cell lineage is confined to immature B cells. We speculate that the expression of CD90 on neonatal MZ-B cells may have implications for their responsiveness to polysaccharide (T cell-independent type 2) antigens.

Biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, and more recently enzyme histo- chemical data have indicated that cholinergic circuits exist in the hypothalamus. Ultrastructural correlates of these pathways such as acetylcholinesterase (AchE) positive neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) and stained terminals in the median eminence (ME) have yet to be described. Initial studies in our laboratories utilizing chemical lesioning and microdissection techniques coupled with microchemical and light microscopic enzyme histo- chemical studies suggested the existence of cholinergic neurons in the ARC which project to the ME (1). Furthermore, in adult male rats with Halasz deafferentations (hypothalamic islands composed primarily of the isolated ARC and the ME) choline acetyltransferase (ChAc) activity, a good marker for cholinergic neurons, was not significantly reduced in the ME and was only somewhat reduced in the ARC (2). Treatment of neonatal rats with high doses of monosodium 1-glutamate (MSG) results in a lesion largely restricted to the neurons of the ARC.

The possibility that intrathymic T-cell differentiation involves stem cell-lymphoid interactions in embryos led us to study the ultrastructure of epithelial cell in normal embryonic thymus. Studies in adult thymus showed that it produces several peptides that induce T-cell differentiation. Several of them have been chemically characterized, such as thymosin α 1, thymopoietin, thymic humoral factor or the serum thymic factor. It was suggested that most of these factors are secreted by populations of A and B-epithelial cells.Embryonic materials were obtained from inbred matings of Swiss Albino mice. Thymuses were disected from embryos 17 days old and prepared for transmission electron microscopy. Our studies showed that embryonic thymus at this stage contains undifferentiated and differentiated epithelial cells, large lymphoblasts, medium and few small lymphocytes (Fig. 5). No differences were found between cortical and medullary epithelial cells, in contrast to the findings of Van Vliet et al,. Epithelial cells were mostly of the A-type with low electron density in both cytoplasm and nucleus. However few B-type with high electron density were also found (Fig. 7).
