Abstract

The sectional area of the splenotomogram scanned parallel to the ribs provides useful information for differential diagnosis and determination of prognosis in liver diseases. To establish a relationship between sectional area and actual spleen volume, 10 spleens obtained at splenectomy or autopsy were studied. A good linear correlation (r = 0.956) was present between the sectional area (S) and the actual spleen volume (V). The spleen volume could be calculated as V = 7.5__S__ – 77.5. Therefore the value of the sectional area obtained from one ultrasonic splenotomogram has practical application as a parameter reflecting the spleen volume in vivo.

## Abstract Response to phytohemagglutinin was investigated in adult mouse spleen cells of congenic strains which differ only at the H‐2 locus. The stimulation of spleen cells was assessed by release of lymphotoxins and DNA synthesis. The results obtained show that the response to PHA markedly var
