title: Establishment of replicating long-term lines of rabbit macrophages and lymphocytes.
abstract: Macrophages (monocyte derived) and lymphocytes have been successfully cultured from rabbit peripheral blood so that replicating long-term cultures are maintained both in media and in the viable, frozen state. The macrophages are considered as such on the basis of phagocytic capabilities, gamma-globulin receptor sites as evidenced by rosette formation with sensitized red cells and disparate enzyme content from the lymphocytes.
