Preferential enhancement of human T cell survival "in vitro" using subthreshold concentration of phytohemagglutinin.
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.
