Discover how Artificial Thymic Organ Culture (ATO) may serve as a complementary diagnostic approach for evaluating T-cell lymphopenia and congenital athymia.

This scientific poster explores the use of an Artificial Thymic Organ Culture (ATO) model to assess the ability of hematopoietic stem cells to differentiate into T-cells. By recreating key aspects of the thymic microenvironment in vitro, the ATO assay offers a novel approach for studying T-cell development and may provide complementary insights into disorders associated with impaired thymic function, including congenital athymia. 

Key highlights include:

• Evaluation of an Artificial Thymic Organ Culture model to support the assessment of T-cell differentiation potential
• Characterization of T-cell developmental stages generated from hematopoietic stem cells within the ATO system
• Investigation of ATO as a complementary approach for evaluating T-cell lymphopenia and congenital athymia
• Assessment of in vitro thymopoiesis to support understanding of intrinsic thymic defects
• Insights into advanced cellular analysis strategies for rare immunological disorders
• Discussion of future analytical and clinical validation efforts to further establish the utility of the ATO model 

Learn how Artificial Thymic Organ Culture may help advance the evaluation of T-cell development, provide complementary information for the assessment of congenital athymia, and support future research into rare immune disorders.
