title: Factor released from human lymphocytes stimulated cholinergically in vitro: an E-rosetting inhibitor.
abstract: Human lymphocytes submitted to the influence of acetylcholine in vitro presented an early increase in the content of E-rosettes. These cells also reacted to this cholinergic stimulation in vitro by releasing a factor affecting E-rosetting formation. The factor was found to be released to the medium after 2 hours of stimulation and decreased the E-rosette formation. The nature of the factor is not yet known, but it can be assumed that it is a polypeptide with a molecular weight of less than 2 min. The inhibition of E-rosetting was found to be dose-dependent, and the factor also affects muscarinic cholinergic binding (3H-QNB) to the rat brain membranes.
