Nonspecific esterase activity in monkey thymus lymphocytes; study of distribution in lymphocyte subpopulation.
A subpopulation of monkey thymus lymphocytes was investigated by direct nonspecific esterase staining of E-rosette forming lymphocytes. Thymus lymphocytes had high nonspecific esterase activity and E-rosette formation, but the level of their in vitro lectin responses was very low.
