## Abstract The K^+^ content of human lymphocytes has been examined during the initial 24 hours after exposure of cells to phytohemagglutinin (PHA). We have reconfirmed that lymphocyte K^+^ exchanges rapidly for extracellular counterions during preparative washing if cells are exposed to PHA. By us
The in vitro mitogenic response to PHA and Con A was determined in three inbred lines of chickens. Lymphocytes from one line consistently showed a greater stimulation by PHA than the other two lines. Analysis of F1 crosses and backcrosses indicated that this quantitative difference was controlled by
## Abstract Pertussis toxin (PTX) is an ancillary adjuvant used to elicit experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), the principal autoimmune model of multiple sclerosis. One mechanism whereby PTX potentiates EAE is to increase bloodβbrain barrier (BBB) permeability. To elucidate further the me
