Antigène vis-à-vis duquel la production des anticorps (essentiellement IgM) ne nécessite pas la présence des cellules T. La production de ces anticorps n'est cependant pas strictement thymo-indépendante car elle peut être soumise à l'action régulatrice de cellules T suppressives et amplificatrices. 1, record 1, French, - antig%C3%A8ne%20thymo%2Dind%C3%A9pendant
