Abstract
Intestinal CD8αα intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IELs) have a key role in mucosal immunity and, unlike other T cells, were proposed to differentiate locally. In apparent contradiction, these cells were also shown to originate from a wave of thymus migrants colonizing the gut in the first 3 weeks after birth. We here identify previously uncharacterized very immature CD4(-)CD8(-)CD3(-)CD44(+)CD25(int) thymocytes, which have not yet rearranged their T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), as having the capacity to leave the thymus, migrate to the blood, colonize the gut, and reconstitute CD8αα T-IEL, and show that this cell set is fully responsible for the generation of the CD8αα T-IEL pool. Thus, although the thymus may be fundamental for efficient T-cell commitment, CD8αα T-IEL' complete TCR rearrangements and TCR-αβ/γδ lineage commitment must occur in the gut. These results demonstrate a major role of the gut environment as a primary lymphoid organ.
