title: [The effect of cortisone on lympho-reticular cells with specific enzyme activity of the white pulp of rat spleen].
abstract: By its destructive effect on the small lymphocyte, cortisone was used to separate the T-lymphocyte from other cells which might be found in the same areas. A reticular cell showing a predominant 5' nucleotidasic activity distinct from that of the phosphatasic acid appeared to be a component of the thymus-dependent areas in the splenic white pulp of Rat. Specific correlations seem to exist between this reticular cell and T-lymphocytes. This histoenzymatic feature involves the reticular cell in the process of maturation of the small lymphocyte.
