| thymic corpuscle | Small spherical bodies of keratinised and usually squamous epithelial cells arranged in a concentric pattern around clusters of degenerating lymphocytes, eosinophils, and macrophages; found in the medulla of the lobules of the thymus. Synonym: Hassall's bodies, Hassall's concentric corpuscle, Virchow-Hassall bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymic factor, circulating | <chemical> A thymus-dependent nonapeptide found in normal blood. Stimulates the formation of e rosettes and is believed to be involved in T-cell differentiation. Chemical name: Thymulin (12 Dec 1998) |
| thymic hormone | <endocrinology> One of the hormones produced by the thymus that are believed to play a role in the maturation of T-lymphocytes and overall modulation of the immune system. Versions of several of them are under study as anti-HIV therapies-thymopentin and thymosin-a1 in particular. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thymic hypoplasia | diGeorge syndrome |
| thymic lymphopoietic factor | A glycoprotein (MW about 12,000) that has been extracted from thymus; this thymus-produced hormone(s) confers immunological competence on thymus-dependent cells and induces lymphopoiesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
