Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in human fetal tissues

Adv Exp Med Biol. 1982:145:185-91. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4684-8929-3_17.

Abstract

The authors have investigated terminal deoxynucleotidil transferase (TdT) activity in the spleen, liver and thymus of a human foetus of 23 weeks. TdT significant levels have been found and two different molecular forms were defined in each tissue.
