## Abstract Erythropoietin (epo) added to liquid cultures of mouse bone marrow cells affected both the numbers of spleen colony‐forming cells (CFU) in the cultures and the types of spleen colonies formed from these cells in irradiated hosts. Epo caused an increase in the numbers of CFU detected in
Bordetella pertussis toxin (PTX), a key component of acellular pertussis vaccines, is known to be endowed with adjuvant properties. In experiments designed to get insights into the interactions between PTX and circulating immune cells, we first observed that addition of PTX to adult whole blood indu
