Reticular cells in a thymoma of an American robin.
While all control mice died, four of nine receiving the
reticular cells survived.
The thinning of thymus cortex lymphoid depletion hemorrhage and
reticular cell hyperplasia in the medulla corresponds to the results reported by Rauf (2011).

reticular cells in vivo and in vitro," Blood, vol.
The cells were pleomorphic and consisted mainly of large heterogeneous
reticular cells. Small lymphocytes and lymphoblasts were multifocal but in low numbers.
Hassall's corpuscles in the thymus are formed from degeneration of compact masses of
reticular cells. It is observed that the corpuscle formation is around hypertrophied
reticular cells and degenerated vessels (Kostowiecki, 1930, (13)).
Terminal vessels may be lined by
reticular cells (Figs.
Reticular cells are also localised around type L vessels in the perisinusoidal region [67, 69].
