## Abstract Mice carrying the nude mutation (nu/nu) lack a functioning thymus and do not contain detectable levels of immunocompetent T cells. We now report that nu/nu mice do have lymphocytes which can be activated __in vivo__ by heterologous erythrocytes and a Lyt‐1 T cell‐derived factor (interle
