## Abstract Protein A from __Staphylococcus aureus__ (SpA) is known to bind to the Fc region of most mammalian IgG classes. In the present article data are presented showing that SpA is a highly efficient mitogen for human peripheral B lymphocytes, with no detectable activity for T lymphocytes. In

## Abstract Staphylococcus aureus, strain Cowan I, contains a cell‐wall substance, protein A, which combines with the Fc part of IgG in most mammalian species. It can therefore be used as a solid‐phase immunoabsorbant for elimination of the reacting immunoglobulins. Since it has been shown that Cow
Function of the LFA-1 and T4 molecules in the direct activation of resting human B lymphocytes by T lymphocytes\* Activated T lymphocytes can provide all of the signals necessary to induce the proliferation of resting B lymphocytes. The activation signal is presumably initiated through direct T-B ly
## Abstract The intracellular killing of __Staphylococcus aureus__ and __Escherichia coli__ by human granulocytes was investigated independently of the ingestion of these bacteria. Granulocytes were allowed to phagocytose preopsonized bacteria for only 3 min, after which the noningested bacteria we
The effect of interleukin 2 (IL2) on the capability of human monocytes to secrete reactive oxygen species triggered via Fc-gamma receptor (Fc-gamma R) function had been investigated by measurement of chemiluminescence (CL). IL 2 did not activate highly purified (hp) monocytes to respond to Fc-gamma
