Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, it has been shown that some mature blood cells originated from embryonic stages persist in adult bodies independently from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). In this study, we searched the origins of these HSC-independent cell lineages and examined the functional differences between embryo-derived cells and HSC-derived cells. Our study indicated the origin of some macrophages and NK cells in the yolk sac. In addition, we observed a functional differences between yolk sac-derived and adult HSC-derived NK cell lineages.
