Abstract
Chinese hamster lymphocyte cultures were supplemented with foetal calf serum (FCS) or horse serum (HS). Addition of 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) to cultures supplemented with these sera resulted in a marked increase in lymphocyte proliferation. The PHA concentrations necessary for optimal lymphocyte stimulation were much lower in cultures supplemented with HS than with FCS. Phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) concentrations optimal for stimulation of a given number of lymphocytes in cultures supplemented with FCS often gave strong inhibition of similar cultures supplemented with HS.
