title: Production of lymphokines by murine cortisone-resistant thymocytes, stimulated by concanavalin A. I. Comparison of optimal culture conditions for proliferative response and interleukin-2 production.
abstract: The conditions for optimal proliferation and production of interleukin-2 by cortisone resistant thymocytes stimulated by concanavalin A were compared. The results show that identical culture conditions are optimal for both responses but peak of interleukin-2 production precedes the peak of proliferation.
