Abstract
Veiled cells (VC) present in the afferent lymph of dogs with chronic lymphoedema could be enriched from 6% to about 50% VC by density gradient centrifugation on 15% metrizamide or discontinuous Percoll gradients. The recovery of VC was about 40% from 0.22 ± 0.07 × 10 6 VC/ml of lymph. The cells were strongly Ia positive and had cytoplasmic S 100 protein. They were also strongly ATP-ase positive and showed heterogeneity in acid phosphatase, peroxidase and non-specific esterase activity. Low density VC from canine afferent lymph were able to stimulate both blood and lymphatic lymphocytes in autologous mixed leukocyte reaction when present at concentration as low as 5% of cultured cells.
