This paper outlines current standard methods of inducing T lymphopoiesis in vitro and in vivo. Reference is made to both murine and human systems. In addition to differentiation assays, methods to optimally characterize output cells are discussed. In bringing together a number of existing protocols, many techniques important in investigating T cell development can be reviewed in one place.
