Restoration of Antibody-Forming Capacity in Cultures of Nonadherent Spleen Cells by Mercaptoethanol

Chang Chen 1 and James G. Hirsch 1

Populations of mouse spleen cells, without those cells that adhere to glass or plastic, exhibit little or no capacity for formation of antibody to sheep erythrocytes in the Mishell-Dutton culture system. When 5 x 10-5M mercaptoethanol is added to the culture medium, the antibody-forming capacity of these nonadherent spleen cells is restored to that of unfractionated spleen cells.
