Article Description

The cortex of enlarging thymic lobes from adult haemorrhaged Quelea quelea were found to be similar to those of wild birds where the thymic enlargement was occurring naturally. A detailed Stereological analysis of cells broadly designated as lymphoid, and the construction of models to account for the results, indicates that the enlarging thymic lobe contains both large and small blast cells, a heterogenous group of medium lymphocytes, erythroid cells, and two types of very small lymphocytes. The distinction between early erythroid cells and some lymphocytes, despite this detailed analysis is very difficult, but it is possible in enlarging thymic lobes that up to 42% of the lymphoid cells may have erythroid characteristics. © 1979 Springer-Verlag.
