The ontogeny of lymphoid cells seems the most appropriate place to
start. The early events in T and B cell ontogeny are still
confusing. There seems to be no agreement on the data and on the
semantics of the question of progenitor vs. stem cells.
Nevertheless, we are beginning to understand more about progenitor
cells which are committed to particular cell lines, and about stem
cells in the sense of having almost unlimited capability of giving
rise to undifferentiated progeny. An important future development
will be to determine the nature of the substances that attract stem
cells and which are produced by specialized thymus epithelium, and
perhaps by the bursa. The way stem cells recognize these signals is
an important question to answer. Not predictable from mammalian
models has been the observation that there is a lack of cells
called into the bursa even before the signal for entry of stem
cells has been shut off. A likely model suggested that after a
certain point in development there were no longer any cells capable
of migrating into the bursa and becoming B cells. A fascinating
possibility is the suggestion that a cell comes into the bursa, is
not committed, then can still wander into the thymus. This cell
does not appear to have B cell characteris tics; that is,
immunoglobulin is not expressed on its surface."
