CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T cell ontogeny and preferential migration to the cecal tonsils in chickens.

Thymic CD4(+)CD25(+) cells have regulatory-T-cell-like properties in chickens. This study examined the ontogeny of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in the thymus and in peripheral compartments in chickens. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells started to appear in the thymus at day 15 of incubation (E15), although at low percenta...

CD4(+)CD25(+) cells started to appear in the thymus at day 15 of incubation (E15), although at low percentages.

Expressed as a percentage of CD4(+) cells, CD4(+)CD25(+) cells increased (P<0.01) from 0% at D0 to 27% at D1 in cecal tonsils and from 0% at D0 to 11% at D1 in the spleen. Expressed as a percentage of all mononuclear cells, cecal tonsils at D1 had approximately 3.5-fold higher percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells than the spleen at D1. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells from cecal tonsils of chicks at D1 were suppressive. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells from D0 thymus, when injected back into MHC-compatible chicks, migrated to cecal tonsils and lungs and were detected until 10 d post-injection.
