The thoracic duct of the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) was cannulated with medical grade tubing through a thoracatomy at right interspace 9-10. In 42 monkeys successfully cannulated, a mean of 1.194 x 10(9) lymphocytes was collected in the 70-hour period after surgery. A second collection, 1-3 weeks later, was possible for a shorter period (up to 60 hours) in a portion of these monkeys (15) with a smaller mean yield of lymphocytes (1.076 x 10(9). A third, but still shorter, collection period of up to 48 hours was possible in only five monkeys from which a mean yield of 0.698 x 10(9) lymphocytes was collected. A temporary postoperative weight loss in the monkeys was followed by a return to normal weight several months later.
通过在右侧第9 - 10肋间进行开胸手术，用医用级导管对恒河猴（猕猴）的胸导管进行插管。在42只成功插管的猴子中，术后70小时内平均收集到1.194×10⁹个淋巴细胞。1 - 3周后，部分猴子（15只）可以进行第二次收集，时间较短（最长60小时），淋巴细胞平均产量较低（1.076×10⁹）。只有5只猴子可以进行第三次收集，时间更短，最长48小时，平均收集到0.698×10⁹个淋巴细胞。猴子术后出现暂时体重减轻，几个月后恢复正常体重。
