Abstract
MATERIAL which stimulates blastogenesis of allogeneic leucocytes is released into the surrounding medium when human leucocytes are cultured in vitro1–3. We have investigated the effect of length of exposure to cell-free medium from mixed leucocyte cultures on blastogenesis in leucocyte cultures from single donors. We also found the minimum volume of cell-free culture medium which stimulates DNA synthesis in cultures of leucocytes from single donors.
