Mixed leukocyte stimulation of normal peripheral leukocytes by autologous lymphoblastoid cells.

Lymphocyte culture lines can be established by using buffy coat cells from normal or diseased individuals. Established lymphocytoblasts from a normal donor were used in the one-way mixed leukocyte culture test and were found to stimulate the peripheral lymphocytes of that donor. These lymphocytoblasts were also capable of stimulating allogeneic lymphocyte populations.
