Abstract

Lymphocytes bearing complement receptors were separated from lymphocyte suspensions using C3-reacted Sepharose columns as solid phase immunoabsorbents. The retained CR+ lymphocytes were recovered by elution of the column with IgG fraction purified from a rabbit antiserum to human C3. This paper describes the method, its specificity and the yields of cells obtained.
