Abstract
Incubation of human lymphocytes with PHA [phytohemagglutinin] or Con A [concanavalin A] at 39.degree. C for 3 days caused a consistent, statistically significant, increase in [3H]thymidine uptake, compared with cultures incubated at 37.degree. C. The responses were also significantly increased after 2 days of incubation, suggesting that hyperthermia not only enhanced, but also caused an earlier onset of the mitogen response.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
