Abstract
The response of lymph node, bone marrow, splenic and thymic lymphocytes to phytohaemagglutinin and Pokeweed mitogen has been studied. Depletion of theta positive or recirculating lymphocytes abolished the response to phytohaemagglutinin but did not impair the response to Pokeweed mitogen. Lymphocytes from thymectomized or athymic `nude' mice respond poorly or not at all to phytohaemagglutinin or Pokeweed mitogen.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
