Abstract

Mouse spleen and lymph node lymphocytes with receptors for complement (CRL) were prepared by a standard rosetting method and the identity of the central lymphocyte studied by indirect immunofluorescence with heterologous antisera specific for immunoglobulin and for T cells. About 30% of CRL were shown to be T cells and the remainder immunoglobulin-bearing (B) cells.

In thymus-less `nude' mice a population of immunoglobulin-negative, non-T cell CRL was found.
