Summary Introduction
To review:
The purpose of the blood–thymus barrier.
Introduction:
The thymus is one of the lymphatic organs, which produces T (thymus-dependent) cells. It is known as the primary lymphatic organ, wherein the lymphocytes are made and become mature. It comprises the reticular cells, thymic corpuscles, and developing T cells. The blood capillaries in the thymus make a blood–thymus barrier.

You intend to insert patched dominant negative DNA into the left half of the neural tube of a chick.
1) Which side of the neural tube would you put the positive electrode to ensure that the DNA ends up on the left side?
2) What would be the internal (within the embryo) control for this experiment?
3) How can you be sure that the electroporation method itself is not impacting the embryo?
4) What would you do to ensure that the electroporation is working? How can you tell?
Describe a method to document the diffusion path and gradient of Sonic Hedgehog through the chicken embryo. If modifying the protein, what is one thing you have to consider in regards to maintaining the protein’s function?
