A new method to evaluate lymphocyte response to mitogens is proposed. The method is based on the observation in fluorescence of the stimulated cells after their supravital staining on slides prestained with acridine orange in alcoholic solution. The results are expressed as Blast Index (IB). The method is very practical, easy to reproduce and shows a good correlation with 3H-thymidine uptake.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008934 Mitogens Substances that stimulate mitosis and lymphocyte transformation. They include not only substances associated with LECTINS, but also substances from streptococci (associated with streptolysin S) and from strains of alpha-toxin-producing staphylococci.
