A Method for Counting Phytohemagglutinin-Stimulated Lymphocytes [PDF]

Blood, 1967
Abstract A technic is described for accurately enumerating the number of viable. PHA-stimulated lymphocytes in culture. This technic is both simple and fast. The technic depends upon the elimination of debris by means of the proteolytic enzyme, pronase, and the removal of cell cytoplasm by cetrimide leaving clean, intact ...
