Volume, adherence properties, membrane antigens and mitogen responsiveness of rabbit lymphoid cell subpopulations.

Subpopulations of rabbit spleen cells which respond to T and B mitogens, respectively, can be distinguished by sedimentation velocity in the earth's gravitational field. T cell subpopulations which differed in their responsiveness to Con A and to PHA could be identified by differences in adherence properties and by their sensitivity to complement mediated cell kill with RTLA-antiserum.
