title: Mitogenic stimulation of mouse lymphoid cells by Aleuria aurantia agglutinin.
abstract: An investigation was undertaken to determine if an agglutinin isolated from Aleuria aurantia possesses a mitogenic activity. Proliferation response of mouse lymphoid cell cultures was measured by 3H-thymidine uptake. The results revealed that Aleuria aurantia agglutinin at the concentration of 1 microgram/ml is mitogenic for Thy-1+ splenocytes and cortisone-resistant thymocytes.
