Exact synonym

thymic T cell differentiation, thymocyte cell differentiation, thymocyte differentiation

Description

The process in which a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a T cell via a differentiation pathway dependent upon transit through the thymus.

Comment

Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
