E and EAC rosettes in man and nonhuman primates and the effect of thymosin in vitro.
E (erythrocyte) and EAC (erythrocytes coated with antibody and complement) rosettes were quantitated in baboons, cebus monkeys and cotton-topped marmosets. There was poor correlation between E rosette levels and other parameter of T-lymphocyte function. In nonhuman primates, E rosettes were increased in the presence of thymosin fraction V, while human E rosettes were not affected.
