Description

A 'micro' modification of the standard 51Cr release assay was developed. With this assay, significant cytolysis was obtained employing 100-200 51Cr-labeled target cells and fewer that 100 lymphocytes obtained from mixed leukocyte cultures. A minimal estimate as to the actual frequency of effector cells was determined for both primary (1 cell in 30) and secondary (1 cell in 8) cytolytic T lymphocyte population. (Auth.)
