PMCID: PMC1408195  PMID: 5013912

Abstract

A simple method has been developed for separating sterile, viable mouse peritoneal lymphocytes from suspension of peritoneal cells using velocity sedimentation. Lymphocytes are obtained in 98.6–99.2 per cent purity; macrophages in 85.4–95.0 per cent purity.
