Erythropoiesis in the Human Thymus

Abstract
Smears were made of cell suspensions of human thymuses obtained at autopsy from pediatric patients. They were stained with either Leishman''s or Wright''s stain, or specifically for hemoglobin with Ralph''s stain. A large proportion of the cells was found to be erythropoietic. All stages of maturation were observed. In addition to cells of the normoblast type, erythroid cells with light blue nuclei and with nuclei undergoing hemoglobinization were also observed.
