Using a bioassay consisting of the proliferation of a murineB cell line, a cDNA of a gene whose product supports the growthof that cell line was isolated from a thymic stromal cell line.This factor, termed thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), isa protein of 140 amino acids. The gene encoding TSLP was mappedto murine chromosome 18. Purified recombinant TSLP supportedthe growth of pre-B cell colonies in vitro, but had no myelopoieticactivity. TSLP had comitogenic activity for fetal thymocytes,but was not as potent as interleukin 7 in lobe submersion cultures.Injection of TSLP into neonatal mice induced the expansion ofB220⁺BP-1⁺ pre-B cells.

Key Words: cytokine, B lymphocyte, growth factor, lymphocyte differentiation,DNA sequence
