    Summary
    These changes were inhibited by concomitant treatment with GH and the GH receptor (GHR) antagonist pegvisomant.

    Summary · context
    In fetal thymus organ cultures (FTOC) derived from Balb/c mice, treatment with exogenous GH resulted in a significant increase of double negative CD4-CD8- T cells and CD4+ T cells, together with a decrease in double positive CD4+CD8+ T cells.
    Summary · context
    The effect of GH on T cell differentiation was explored via thymic organotypic culture.
