The significance of thymus in lymphocyte development and proliferation of cell mediated immune response came from experiments including neonatal thymectomic in which the thymus was surgically eliminated from new-born mice. These thymectaomide mice exhibited a dramatic reduction in T-Lymphocytes and a deficiency of cell mediated immune response. This situation is seen in the congenital birth defect in humans.
