In this thesis, interaction of indolizine-naphthoquinone compounds (INQ) with calf thymus DNA(CT-DNA) was investigated using the electrochemical and spectroscopic methods.
The interaction between the metal complex of hydrazide of podophyllic acid and calf thymus (CT) DNA was studied by using absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra and DNA heat denaturation.
In the thymus, these precursor T-cells mature and express either CD4 on helper T-cells or CD8 on cytotoxic T-cells sometimes known as suppressor T cells.
B cells and NK cells complete their development where they started - in the bone marrow, whereas some lymphoid progenitor cells migrate to the thymus where they develop into T cells.
The thymus is involved in the development of T cells - making sure that any T cells that react to self-antigens, antigens that are normally found in the body, are promptly destroyed.
