[thymic hormone, thymus hormone, thymus hormones]
The thymic epithelium is involved in the differentiation of T-cells through several mechanisms, involving the direct contact with stem cells and the secretion of a variety of biochemically characterized proteins, called thymic hormones. The intrathymic environment is characterized by a complex network of paracrine, autocrine, and endocrine signals, involving both cytokines and thymic peptides. Human recombinant IL1 (see also: Recombinant cytokines) induces thymic epithelial cell proliferation and IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha enhance the effects of
