Abstract: | Transformed lymphocytes obtained by stimulating lymph node cells of CBA mice with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) do not give the graft versus host reaction (GVHR) if injected into sublethally irradiated (CBA×C57BL/6) F1 hybrids. In a population of PHA-stimulated cells the GVHR was induced by small lymphocytes having the same concentration of antigens, detectable by antilymphocytic serum, as intact lymphocytes.Department of Immunology, Medico-Biological Faculty, N.
