Outline of Final Research Achievements	Immunostaining for leptin receptor and interleukin-7 receptor were performed in involuted thymus obtained from forensic autopsy. However, differences in cause of stress between involuted and control thymus were not detected. However, result of this research may be useful for elucidation of Hassall's corpuscle function and cause of fibril formation at stress induced involuted thymus.
