title: Plaque-forming cell response of frozen human lymphocytes stimulated with pokeweed mitogen. II. Results obtained in cultures of irradiated T and untreated B lymphocytes.
abstract: The PFC capability of cryopreserved lymphocytes was tested after T/B cell separation and irradiation of the T cells. It is concluded that there is no selective loss of function of the involved subpopulations. Thus nitrogen-stored lymphocytes can safely be used in PFC assays after conventional separation and irradiation procedures.
