SummaryIn addition to the major intrathymic pathway of T cell differentiation, extrathymic pathways of such differentiation have been shown to exist in the liver and intestine. In particular, hepatic T cells of T cell receptors or CD3 of intermediate levels (i.e., intermediate T cell receptor cells) always contain self-reactive clones and sometimes appear at other sites, including the target tissues in autoimmune diseases and the tumor sites in malignancies. To prove their extrathymic origin and self reactivity, in this study we used thymectomized, irradiated (B6 x C3H/He) Ft mice subjected to transplantation of bone marrow cells of B6 mice. It was clearly demonstrated that all T ceUs generated under athymic conditions in the peripheral immune organs are intermediate
We discuss our recent results on the existence and classification problem of complex and Kähler structures on compact solvmanifolds. In particular, we determine in this paper all the complex surfaces which are diffeomorphic to compact solvmanifolds (and compact homogeneous manifolds in general).
Abstract.In this paper we first determine minimal models of nilmanifolds associated with given rational nilpotent Lie algebras. Then we study some properties of nilmanifolds through their associated Lie algebras and minimal models. In particular, we will see that a minimal model of a nilmanifold is formal if and only if it is a torus, and thus a non-toral nilmanifold has no complex structure which is birationally isomorphic to a Kahler manifold.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
