title: Reactivity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in hamsters with transplanted melanomas in the rosette test.
abstract: Capability of peripheral blood lymphocytes of control and immunized hamsters of spontaneously binding sheep erythrocytes was studied at two different temperatures: at 29 degrees C to detect "Fc-negative" subpopulations of T lymphocytes, and at 4 degrees C to detect "Fc-positive" subpopulations. The percentage of rosettes in melanoma-immunized hamsters decreased at 29 degrees C and increased at 4 degrees C. More pronounced changes were observed after immunization with amelanotic melanoma.
