Fine structure of the thymus in the adult cling fish Sicyases sanguineus (Pisces, Gobiesocidae).

Abstract:

:The structure of the thumus in adult specimens of a marine teleost, the cling fish Sicyases sanguineus, has been studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Most cling fishes have an outer thymus located beneath the opercular epithelium. A few of them, however, have a large inner thymus besides a poorly developed outer thymus. In the well-developed outer thymus of cling fish there are three different zones: outer cortex, inner cortex, and medulla. The inner cortex is similar to the cortical region of the thumus in other vertebrates, whereas the outer cortex is a specialized lympho-epithelial zone containing cystic cells (also present in medullary region) and true Hassall's corpuscles. In accordance with the development of the thymic parenchyma, the medullary or basal region may appear either like a true thymic medulla or like a subcapsular region. In the inner thymus, a subcapsular or peripheral "medullary" region and a central area (inverted cortex) show structural features like those of the medullary (basal) and deep cortical regions of the outer thymus, respectively. In addition to the above regions, sometimes there is a lymphomyeloid perithymic infiltration that often extends along connective tissue septa into the perivascular spaces of the gland. Reticuloepithelial, mesenchymal, and unidentified types of stromal cells within the thymus are described. Some erythrocytes, granulocytes, and monocytoid cells are found, but no plasma cells nor erythropoietic foci are evident. The probable significance of these findings is discussed.
