The thymus is an mammalian organ which is located in the center of the chest behind the breastbone, or sternum. It is in the thymus where lymphocytes multiply, mature and become T-cells. The thymus produces the hormones hymopoietin and thymosin which regulate T cell maturation. T-cells are important in the immune response to pathogen invasion of the body. The thymus size and function peaks at puberty and declines thereafter with age. Sometimes people are born without a thymus or it can become nonfunctional in newborns. In this case, there is no T-cell production and there is immune deficiency. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=5775 http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/B/B_and_Tcells.html
