Thisvolume is divided into3sections. SectionIdeals with factors that regulate the development and maturation of T cells and B cells and lymphocyte traffic. The significanceofC-kit,Bcl-6,IL-7andVavinthedevelopmentofTandBlymphocytes is discussed. A role of lymphotoxins and VAP-I in trafficking of leucocytes is reviewed. Finally, the trafficking and homing characteristics of T cell and B cell subsets, and the regulation of these processes during the immune response, is presented.

In fetal and neonatal life, c-Kit plays a redundant role in T, and no apparantrole in Bcell development. In neonatal mice deficient for both c-Kit and the common ychain (ye), a component ofthe interleukin-7 (IL-7) receptor, the thymus is alymphoid,andthereforelacksT cell receptor (TCR) 13,y, and 0 rearrangements. Thus, a critical role for c-Kit in T cell development around birth is well established. More recently, it has become possible to examine the impact of c-Kit deficiency under conditions ofsteady state lymphopoiesis in adult life. Such analysis has been made possible by the identification of a viable adult c-Kit-deficient (c-KitW/W) variant, termedthe Vickidmouse. TheVickidmousearosebyoutcrossingc-KitW-bearing mice ofthe WB strain, in which lack ofc-Kit is lethal, to a mixed genetic background. In adult Vickid mice, mainstream al3 TCR+ thymocyte development, and B cell development in the bone marrow are severely c-Kit-dependent with progressive age. Analysis ofother pathways of developing T cells, i.e. CD4-CDS- (double neagative [DN]) al3 TCR+and DN yo TCR+ thymocytes revealed that the development ofboth lineages is also severely affected by lack ofc-Kit. However, numbers ofyo TCR+ T cells decline beforenumbersofal3 TCR+Tcells in thethymus. Incontrast to T and B celldevelopment,generationofNKcells isnotaffectedinadultc-KitW/Wmice. INTRODUCTION The receptor tyrosine kinase c-Kit is a growth factor receptor important for the development and function of stem and progenitor cells. C-Kit is expressed in •Dept. forImmunology,UniversityofUlm,0-89070Vim,Germany,[email protected], [email protected],tel: 49-731-50023360,fax: 49-731-50023367 2 C.WASKOWANDH.-R.RODEWALD hematopoietic cells, germ cells, melanocytes, intestinal pacemaker cells, and neuronal cells(Bernstein et al., 1990; Besmer, 1991). According to this expression pattern, c Kitdeficiency causes anemia, sterility, depigmentation (dominant white spotting), and intestinal pacemakerdysfunction. Numerous naturallyoccurringc-Kit(Walleles)or Kit ligand(Kitl; formerly termedstem cell factor [SCF], ormast cell growth factor (MGF]) (steel [SI] alleles) mutants have been identified (Russell, 1979; Galli et al., 1994). Mutantsentirely lackingcell surfaceexpression ofc-Kit (c-KitWIW) are lethal within a few days afterbirth(Russell, 1979). This lethality can be overcome by transplantation of wild type hematopoietic stem cells (Mintz and Fleischman, 1979). The most prominent pathological symptom in c-KitWIW mice is a severe macrocytic anemia (reducedredbloodcell [RBC] numbers with increased RBC volume), and this anemia is the putative cause ofdeath(Russell, 1979). Hence, until now, an~ses ofadult c-Kit mutants have been limited to mild W or steel alleles. The c-Kit IW genotype was known to be lethal in the WB mouse strain background (as well as in all other tested backgrounds). We have identified a white, black-eyed c-KitW/W mouse, surviving to adulthood, in out-crosses ofWB-c-KitW/+to mixed genetic backgrounds. This novel mutant has been termed the "Vickid" mouse (Waskow et al. unpublished). The molecular nature of the putative c-Kit suppressor mutation is unknown. Here, we summarizeourdetailedanalysesoflymphocyte development in adult Vickid mice, and compare these findings to the role previously recognized for c-Kit in lymphocyte developmentduringfetal andneonatal life. ThymocyteDevelopmentin Neonatalc-KitWIW Mice Analysesofthymocyte development in both neonatal c-KitWIW mice, as well as in adult wild type mice grafted with either wild type or c-Kit-ligand-deficient fetal thymic transplants (Sl/S\) revealed that intrathymically expressed c-Kit ligand is a major factor driving expansion ofvery immature thymocytes in vivo. Transplantation ofSl/SI grafts was importantto separateeffectsdueto lack ofKit! at the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) level (as in the fetal liver of c-KitW/w mice) from intrathwmic development (as in Sl/SI thymi grafted intowild type mice). In the neonatal c-Kit IW thymus, and in Sl/SI thymus grafts, the size of the CD3-CD4-CD8- (triple-negative [TN]) thymocyte compartment was reduced -40 fold and -12 fold, respectivly. This reduction in TN cell numbers was due to diminished proliferation in the thymus as shown by in vivo bromodeoxyuridine labeling of thymocytes in wildtype or SUSI mutant grafts. Collectively, lack of Kit! in the thymic environment reduces the expansion rate ofTN, but not overall thymocytes, by -50%. Apart from these clear alterations at early stages of thymfi,Vte development, thymocyte development was permissive in both neonatal c-KitW mice and in SI/SI thymus grafts. Thus, this study (Rodewaldetal., 1995),togetherwith earlierinvivo work(Asamoto and Mandel, 1981), has established a role, albeit not an essential one, for c-KitiKitl interactions in the expansionofvery earlythymic immigrants.
