title: [Isolation and identification of normal killers from Syrian hamsters].
abstract: Natural killers (NK cells) possessing cytotoxic activity were isolated from the blood, spleen and bone marrow of Syrian hamsters in discontinuous Percoll density gradient. These cells were morphologically identified as granular lymphocytes (GL). The largest amount of GL was isolated from the fraction containing 52-55% of Percoll. Cytotoxic activity of cells in this fraction was the highest, as compared to nonfractionated control or cells in other Percoll fractions.
