title: Purification of rabbit T-derived (Ig-) lymphocytes.
abstract: Rabbit peripheral blood cells were rosetted by means of mixed agglutination technique described by Coombs et al. and the unrosetted Ig-, T-derived lymphocytes were separated in Ficoll-Triosil gradient. The cells which did not rosette in mixed agglutination reaction represented highly purified T-derived (Ig-) lymphocytes, as evidence by their response to T and B rabbit cell mitogens, their cytotoxic reactivity versus rabbit thymus lymphocyte antiserum (RTLA), and by failure to be stained with labelled anti-rabbit immunoglobulins antibodies and antibodies against allotypic specificities of the a and b series.
