Detection of oxygen-centered radicals using EPR spin-trap DEPMPO: the effect of oxygen.

abstract：:Thymic epithelial and nurse cells from different species express a repertoire of neuroendocrine polypeptide precursors. This repertoire exerts a dual role in T-lymphocyte selection according to their status either as cryptocrine signals or as neuroendocrine self-antigens of the peptide sequences that are processed fro...
