Abstract: | The peripheral blood mononuclear cell population in patients with heterophile positive infectious mononucleosis is comprised of small and mediumsized lymphocytes, monocytes, increased numbers of lymphoid-plasma (LP)cells, and large lymphocytoid cells with abundant polysomes. Cell-lines derived from these patients contain a spectrum of cells of the lymphoid plasmacell series. These cultures are morphologically indistinguishable from Burkittlymphoma and leukemic suspension cultures. A large portion of the cellspresent in these continuous suspension cultures have fine structural featuressimilar to phytomitogen stimulated lymphocytes, and to cells implicated inthe immune response.
