title: Preferential enhancement of human T cell survival "in vitro" using subthreshold concentration of phytohemagglutinin.
abstract: Cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes were maintained for 21 days in the presence of subthreshold concentration of PHA. The identification of T and B human lymphocytes by membrane markers showed that at day 21 of culture, the cell population surviving is constituted predominantly of T lymphocytes.
