In vitro effect of rabbit anti sea star lymphocyte serum on axial organ cells.
The axial organ (AO-cells) of the sea star Asterias rubens is a primitive immune organ. The total population was fractionated or not into two populations: adherent (B-like) and non adherent (T-like) to nylon wool. Rabbit anti sea star lymphocyte serum induces the proliferation of axial organ cells. The T-like antiserum stimulates the T-like cells exclusively; the whole axial organ cell antiserum only stimulates the whole axial organ cell population.
