title: Lymphocyte isolation, rosette formation, and mitogen stimulation in Rhesus monkeys.
abstract: Over 70% of rhesus monkey peripheral mononuclear cells were isolated on sodium metrizoate-ficoll gradients with greater than 98% purity. Rhesus blood contained 47.8% active E, 58.2% total E, and 30.2% EAC rosette forming cells. Optimal conditions for mitogen studies were determined using phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin A, pokeweed mitogen, lipopolysaccharide and streptolysin O.
