Thymic epithelial cells are derived from the cultures of thymic nurse cells. These cultures are free from fibroblasts and macrophages. The epithelial nature of these cells is confirmed by demonstrating the presence of keratin filaments in them. These epithelial cells show heterogeneity in shape, size and distribution of keratin filaments. They contain nonspecific esterase(s) molecules and express both I-A and H-2K antigens.
胸腺上皮细胞源自胸腺哺育细胞培养物。这些培养物不含成纤维细胞和巨噬细胞。通过证明这些细胞中存在角蛋白丝来确认其上皮性质。这些上皮细胞在角蛋白丝的形状、大小和分布上表现出异质性。它们含有非特异性酯酶分子，并表达I-A和H-2K抗原。
