Abstract
In the present study, frequency of thymocyte divisions was analyzed in the rat thymic cortex, as related to (1) distance from thymic capsule and (2) the daily cycle. Frequency of thymocyte divisions was estimat ed in succesive 10 mum thick layers of the cortex. An evident daily cy cle was detected in the thymic cortex with increase in the number of c ell divisions around 8 pm.
