Abstract：
:Use of whole blood for lymphocyte proliferation experiments have advantages over the usual isolated lymphocyte procedure. We have systematically optimized methodology for whole blood lymphocyte proliferation in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Both phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (ConA) stimulate lymphocyte blastogenesis in whole blood. The response of rat lymphocytes to ConA at supra-optimum conditions doubled that of PHA in contrast to what is observed in human lymphocytes. Proliferation rates relate non-linearly to concentrations of both mitogens with profiles showing lag, log and decline phases with increasing concentrations. The effect of incubation period followed a similar pattern with an optimum growth rate at 72 h. Whole blood from adrenalectomized rats gave higher proliferation rates than blood from intact normal rats. Advantages of the technique include: use of as little as 8 microliters of blood for each determination; rats need not be killed, the technique is less cumbersome, less time consuming, and cheaper to carry out than the traditional isolated lymphocyte method.
