The study aimed et determining morphological relations between thymic cells and thymocytes. The studies were performed on 16 days old rats of Wistar strain. The material was processed for ultrastructural studies in a routine manner. For 50 thymocytes computer reconstruction was performed which allowed to define cell volume, volume of cell nucleus and of condensed chromatin. The value characterizing three-dimensional morphology of thymocytes provided grounds for analysis using graph theory. The stereological methods allowed to examine microarchitecture of individual thymic zones. Thymocytes in contact with dendritic cells or with macrophages were found to differ in morphology from thymocytes with no such contacts. The results indicated direct effect of dendritic cells and of macrophages on thymocytes.
