Transformation of chicken lymphocytes stimulated by concanavalin A: response parameters. 1982

R M Nathanson

The culture conditions for obtaining the maximum transformation of chicken lymphocytes stimulated by the mitogen Concanavalin A are described in this paper. Lymphocytes were cultured in round bottom microtiter tissue culture plates and the incorporation of 3H-methyl-thymidine (3H-TdR) into lymphocyte deoxyribonucleic acid was used to quantitatively evaluate transformation. Maximum incorporation of 3H-methyl-thymidine occurred when 2 x 10(6) lymphocytes and 4 micrograms of Concanavalin A were added to each culture. Deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis was greatest during the period of 18 to 36 hours after addition of mitogen. Differences between chicken and mammalian lymphocyte cultures are discussed.

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.
